Levante a sua voz para apoiar a vaporização – a consulta da UE está aberta! 

Muitos políticos e vozes anti-vaping pedem que o vaping seja tratado da mesma maneira que fumar. Isso significaria um desastre para vapers e para a saúde pública. Milhões de vapers podem ser forçados a voltar a fumar devido a proibições de sabores e outras restrições à acessibilidade de vaping para as pessoas que mais precisam.

For too long, lawmakers have ignored vapers’ opinions, meaning the most important voices – those of the consumer – and their lived experiences are missing and misunderstood. So when we have the opportunity to raise our voices, we need to take the chance. The EU Commission opened a public consultation, and you can participate till 17 June 2022.

Hello! 

My name is [INSERT HERE]. I am [INSERT HERE] years old and I am from [INSERT HERE]. 

I was smoking for [INSERT HERE] years and tried multiple times to quit.

I tried different methods of traditional nicotine replacement therapy, and unfortunately found all of these products did little to help my cravings for cigarettes. I decided it was time that I needed to give up.

Around his time, I was introduced to vaping and it changed my life. 

I am very proud to say that I am smoke free for [INSERT HERE] now.  I have found that my health has improved dramatically. Thanks to vaping I am able to stay away from cigarettes and it turned out that vaping flavours are essential for this. The variety of flavours allow me to not be reminded of the taste of cigarettes. 

Many other people around me gave up smoking because of vaping. I am highly grateful for this product that has been detrimental to my health, and I urge the policymakers to consider this. I strongly oppose any excessive regulations on vaping products. I urge policy makers to keep this effective smoking cessation tool available for everyone.
