Ogni settimana, mettiamo in luce uno dei partner pi\u00f9 importanti della WVA. Tutti loro si battono per i diritti degli svapatori nei loro Paesi.<\/p>\n

Questa settimana parliamo con Kurt Yeo, co-fondatore di Lo svapo mi ha salvato la vita<\/a><\/strong>. Spiega perch\u00e9 \u00e8 nata la sua organizzazione e come \u00e8 diventata un forum aperto per gli amanti dello svapo in Sudafrica.<\/p>\n

Kurt Yeo, co-fondatore di Vaping Saved My Life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Vaping Saved My Life \u00e8 un movimento avviato a met\u00e0 del 2017 da Craig Stuart e Kurt Yeo, entrambi appassionati di svapo di lunga data. Entrambi erano fumatori accaniti da oltre vent'anni. Dopo molti tentativi falliti con metodi tradizionali e approvati, Craig e Kurt hanno scoperto che lo svapo era la soluzione che finalmente li ha aiutati a smettere di fumare. Hanno scoperto molte persone con storie ed esperienze simili, il che ha rafforzato la loro convinzione che passare a metodi di somministrazione di nicotina pi\u00f9 sicuri avrebbe potuto potenzialmente eliminare la piaga pi\u00f9 mortale che affligge la societ\u00e0 globale: il fumo.<\/p>\n

Nel 2017 si \u00e8 assistito a un'improvvisa impennata nella diffusione di notizie negative e disinformazione sui potenziali danni associati allo svapo. Il fenomeno ha raggiunto il culmine quando il Ministro della Salute sudafricano, il Dott. Aaron Motsoledi, ha dichiarato pubblicamente alla televisione nazionale che, se ne avesse avuto il potere, avrebbe vietato lo svapo. Questo ha ispirato Craig e Kurt a creare una pagina Facebook in cui gli ex fumatori, ora svapatori, potessero condividere le loro storie e caricare testimonianze sui benefici riscontrati da quando hanno cambiato sigaretta elettronica.<\/p>\n

L'ondata di notizie e sentimenti negativi nei media e nel governo del Sudafrica \u00e8 continuata e alla fine ha portato alla proposta del 2018 Progetto di legge sul controllo dei prodotti del tabacco e sui sistemi di distribuzione elettronica<\/em>. Il disegno di legge mira a regolamentare le sigarette elettroniche in modo simile al tabacco e a imporre lo stesso livello di restrizioni ai prodotti che hanno dimostrato di essere meno dannosi e pi\u00f9 efficaci nell'aiutare i fumatori a smettere. Ci\u00f2 ha costretto Vaping Saved My Life a impegnarsi e a parlare apertamente sulla questione.<\/p>\n

Vaping Saved My Life ora dedica il suo tempo non solo a condividere e informare sui vantaggi del passaggio a prodotti meno dannosi, ma anche a dissipare la sempre presente interpretazione errata della scienza e la costante diffusione di disinformazione sull'argomento. Per contrastare questo fenomeno, \u00e8 fondamentale che individui e gruppi che condividono le stesse idee uniscano le forze e agiscano collettivamente. Per questo motivo, Vaping Saved My Life ha deciso di collaborare con la World Vapers Alliance, attraverso la quale gruppi e individui di tutto il mondo possono condividere, interagire e offrire supporto a tutte le regioni che affrontano sfide simili. Per troppo tempo, i fumatori sono stati trattati come cittadini di seconda classe, stigmatizzandoli, emarginandoli e tassandoli, senza offrire loro una vera soluzione. Con l'aiuto di altri attivisti dello svapo sotto l'egida della World Vapers Alliance, possiamo finalmente far sentire la nostra voce collettiva e lottare per una soluzione realmente praticabile per liberare il mondo dalla piaga del fumo.<\/p>\n

.Non siamo tabacco. Lo svapo mi ha salvato la vita<\/a> e ne salveranno altri milioni se si scoprir\u00e0 la verit\u00e0.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
