Vapers In Power
International Network of Nicotine Consumer Organisations
Not Blowing Smoke

The NNA developed from a group of individuals who - by themselves and through their links with leading smoking and tobacco researchers and policy analysts – have contributed in the last two years to improving individual, organisational and public understanding of what is known as ‘tobacco harm reduction’ - a term used by the Department of Health, Public Health England and the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence amongst others to describe ways of reducing harm from cigarette smoking without necessarily giving up the use of nicotine. The Board of NNA, and our Associates include ex-smokers, most of whom have succeeded in giving up smoking through the use of other nicotine delivery systems, public health analysts and scientists.

Formed in June 2016, INNCO is the collective voice for the most influential nicotine consumer organisations in twenty seven nicotine consumer organisations in twenty five countries across five continents who each recognise that there are safer ways to enjoy nicotine consumption than tobacco smoking.

Vapers In Power was created over fears that were confirmed when Article 20 section 5 was added to the TPD, a clause that could forbid the promotion of vaping . These proposals could affect Vaping forums, TV and Radio Stations, Vapemeets, advertising, etc.

 

We consider a registered political party with a manifesto could deter any such moves by the European Union or the UK government before they happen.  We also believe that should it then happen we will be well placed to confront such an abuse, with our status as a registered political party.

The original NOT Blowing Smoke website was built during a non-stop 38 hour session in an attempt to provide some counter balance to a misleading anti-vapor campaign and website (“Still Blowing Smoke”) that was to be launched by the California Department of Public Health (CA-DPH). Both websites launched within the same hour on Sunday, March 22nd, 2015.

Within hours the NOT Blowing Smoke website gained massive traction and saw its first 100,000 unique visitors within the first 48 hours of being online. The same can not be said for the Still Blowing Smoke campaign, which, under severe pressure of an honest and truthful presentation of the facts, got vaporized.

The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA) is a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization with an all-volunteer board and a grassroots membership of more than two hundred thousand individuals from all walks of life, and we are growing daily. We are a consumer organization, not a trade association. We are dedicated to ensuring the availability of reduced harm alternatives to smoking and to providing smokers and non-smokers alike with honest information about those alternatives so that they can make informed choices.

Our mission 

 

Through advocacy and education, disseminate to the general population accurate and comprehensive information about vaping.

Ensure smokers can make an informed decision about vaping as a smoking alternative

​

We are currently developing our VAEP Learning Center. This resource will consist of a reference library, a video library, myths/truths flowcharts and short animated videos. The Learning Center will allow you to easily access the information you want and link the information to the supporting scientific evidence.

AVCA is a charitable trust board 

​

Our mission is simple: Educate, Inform, Advocate, Community

​

All of those involved are doing this out of our conviction that there is a better way for smokers to be rid of the beast tobacco addiction once and for all and this is the use of personal vapourisers, also known as e-cigarettes, ENDS or ENNDS. 

 

Quitting smoking is HARD. We know as we have all been there and succeeded in switching.

American Vaping Association

The American Vaping Association is a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies that encourage the growth and sustainability of small- and medium-sized businesses in the rapidly growing vaping and electronic cigarette industry. The AVA was founded by Gregory Conley, a consumer and industry advocate with a long track record of advocating for vapor products dating back to 2010.

 

We are dedicated to educating the public and government officials about public health benefits offered by vapor products, which are battery-powered devices that heat a liquid nicotine or nicotine-free solution and create an inhalable vapor. The AVA is not a trade group and does not speak for any particular businesses, including our sponsors.  

vapers.org.uk is a website run by Vapers for Vapers. Collecting News and comments from around the world with regard to Vaping. We are all volunteers and not funded in anyway by any aspect of “Big Industry” Be it Electronic Cigarette, Tobacco or Pharmaceutical.

A Billion Lives

Tobacco Harm Reduction Association of Canada is a Not-For-Profit consumer driven group of former smokers who have quit smoking with the aid of tobacco harm reduction products THR . Our mission is to promote the availability of effective, affordable and reduced harm alternatives to smoking by increasing public awareness and education, to encourage the testing and development of products to achieve acceptable safety standards and reasonable regulation; and to promote the benefits of reduced harm alternatives.

WHY MAKE THIS FILM?

 

Everywhere we look, we see big business interests corrupting the truth and affecting millions of lives. We see that in the food industry, healthcare, government, and now with alternatives to smoking. With nearly unlimited funds, the big money always seems to drown out the truth when it suits them.

As filmmakers, it’s our job to tell stories that need telling, give voices to the voiceless, and make our world a better place. It’s not every day that filmmakers get to tell a story that can change the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world. With A Billion Lives, we have that chance and we’re not going to waste it.

We’re putting everything we have into making this the defining film for an entire generation and helping end the grip smoking has on over a billion people.

New Nicotine Alliance
Vapers Stand United

Vapers Stand United was formed in January 2016 to oppose Article 20 of the TPD which has elements of bad regulation within it, with the ultimate purpose being to advocate for the rights of smokers to choose E-liquid Vaping Technology as far safer alternative to smoking, we have around 3000 members who are all Vapers who once smoked, we know how hard it is to give up smoking and we all have a story to tell on how we managed to switch from smoking cigarettes to EVPs, we want to help! With the combination of both knowledge and experience we believe we can do just that for you the smoker.

 

The scientific evidence on the safety of EVPs as an alternative to smoking has grown ever since the emergence of this great technology, in August 2015 came the release of the first landmark report on E-liquid Vaping Products from Public Health England stating “ the current best estimate is that e-cigarettes are around 95% less harmful than smoking” , in early 2016 the “The Royal College of Physicians' new report, Nicotine without smoke: tobacco harm reduction’, has concluded that e-cigarettes are likely to be beneficial to UK public health. Smokers can therefore be reassured and encouraged to use them, and the public can be reassured that e-cigarettes are much safer than smoking.”

 

There are currently around 3 million users of E-liquid Vaping Products in the U.K., we want to make sure many more millions get that same choice to switch from smoking to EVPs by promoting this great alternative that has both transformed and saved millions of lives, we want to make sure smokers have an informed choice to switch.

 

With the increase of E-liquid Vaping Products on the market it can be confusing where to start, with that in mind I (Brian Coe) created this website that will hopefully help you make a better informed choice. https://www.vapersstandunited.com/
