Can you believe it? Another year has passed. Somehow it feels like summer just began, but here we are, with 2022 drawing to a close. It has been a unique year, full of exciting events, and special occasions, not to mention our fantastic murals of the #FlavoursMatter campaign and quite eventful #BackVapingBeatSmoking tour, policy victories, consultations, open letters, parties at World Vape Day, vape expos where we met so many of you, and so much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, we won against the flavour ban in Sweden, we toured across ten cities and six countries only this fall alone, we co-authored a study on vaping perceptions among German and French practitioners, our #BackVapingBeatSmoking petition was signed by 4,199 EU citizens, our Don’t Let 19 Million Lives Fall art installations were seen from European Parliaments in Brussels and Strasbourg, Colosseum, and even the 25 de Abril Bridge, and our community has grown to 4 fellows, 6 full time staffers, 32 partner organizations, 203 ambassadors, and 55,000+ members. What a beautiful year!<\/span><\/p>\n

From everyone at WVA, we would like to say — thank you for being with us in 2022. It has been a fantastic year, and more is yet to come in 2023. May the next year bring us better vaping regulations, a larger variety of flavours available on the market, reasonable taxation, and more harm reduction champions amongst our politicians, journalists, and opinion-makers, and, of course, more vapers and fewer smokers. <\/span>Below you can find a WVA 2022 recap with the most important activities.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, I\u2019d like to thank everybody who raises their voice, supports the WVA and cooperates with us. 2023 can become a great year for vapers if we keep up the fighting spirit. Eventually, science and the experience of millions of people from around the world will win!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wish you a happy and healthy New Year & vape on!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
