Kurt Yeo, cofundador de Vaping Saved My Life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Vapear me salv\u00f3 la vida es un movimiento que surgi\u00f3 a mediados de 2017, impulsado por Craig Stuart y Kurt Yeo, dos entusiastas del vapeo con amplia experiencia. Ambos hab\u00edan sido fumadores empedernidos durante m\u00e1s de veinte a\u00f1os. Tras numerosos intentos fallidos con m\u00e9todos tradicionales y aprobados, Craig y Kurt descubrieron que el vapeo era la soluci\u00f3n que finalmente les ayud\u00f3 a dejar de fumar. Conocieron a muchas personas con historias y experiencias similares, lo que reforz\u00f3 su convicci\u00f3n de que el cambio a m\u00e9todos de administraci\u00f3n de nicotina m\u00e1s seguros podr\u00eda eliminar la lacra m\u00e1s letal que azota a la sociedad mundial: el tabaquismo.<\/p>\n

En 2017 se produjo un repentino aumento en la difusi\u00f3n de noticias negativas y desinformaci\u00f3n sobre los posibles da\u00f1os asociados al vapeo. El punto \u00e1lgido lleg\u00f3 cuando el Ministro de Salud de Sud\u00e1frica, el Dr. Aaron Motsoledi, declar\u00f3 p\u00fablicamente en la televisi\u00f3n nacional que, de tener la potestad, prohibir\u00eda el vapeo. Esto inspir\u00f3 a Craig y Kurt a crear una p\u00e1gina de Facebook donde los exfumadores, ahora vapeadores, pudieran compartir sus experiencias y testimonios sobre los beneficios que hab\u00edan experimentado desde el cambio.<\/p>\n

La ola de noticias y opiniones negativas en los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y el gobierno de Sud\u00e1frica continu\u00f3 y finalmente condujo a la propuesta de 2018. Proyecto de ley sobre el control de los productos de tabaco y los sistemas electr\u00f3nicos de administraci\u00f3n de tabaco<\/em>. El proyecto de ley busca regular los cigarrillos electr\u00f3nicos de forma similar al tabaco e imponer el mismo nivel de restricciones a productos que han demostrado ser menos da\u00f1inos y m\u00e1s eficaces para ayudar a los fumadores a dejar de fumar. Esto oblig\u00f3 a Vaping Saved My Life a involucrarse y pronunciarse abiertamente sobre el tema.<\/p>\n

Vaping Saved My Life ahora dedica su tiempo no solo a compartir y educar sobre los beneficios de cambiar a productos menos da\u00f1inos, sino tambi\u00e9n a desmentir la constante tergiversaci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica y la desinformaci\u00f3n sobre el tema. Para combatir esto, es vital que personas y grupos con ideas afines unan fuerzas y act\u00faen colectivamente. Por ello, Vaping Saved My Life decidi\u00f3 asociarse con la Alianza Mundial de Vapeadores, donde grupos e individuos de todo el mundo pueden compartir, interactuar y brindar apoyo a todas las regiones que enfrentan desaf\u00edos similares. Durante demasiado tiempo, los fumadores han sido tratados como ciudadanos de segunda clase, estigmatizados, marginados y gravados, sin que se les ofrezca una soluci\u00f3n real. Con la ayuda de otros activistas del vapeo bajo el paraguas de la Alianza Mundial de Vapeadores, finalmente podemos alzar la voz y luchar por una soluci\u00f3n real y viable para erradicar el flagelo del tabaquismo.<\/p>\n

.No somos tabaco. Vapear me salv\u00f3 la vida<\/a> y se ahorrar\u00e1n millones m\u00e1s si se conoce la verdad.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
