Our new campaign will fi ght for the
US industry.
Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000
deaths in the US every year. But in the past few months,
state and federal government offi cials have brought in
strict measures that threaten to destroy the one thing
that keeps millions of Americans from using tobacco
– vaping.
We aim to raise £25,000.
All funds raised from this campaign will go directly to
US businesses affected by the attacks on the industry,
as well as advocacy groups including the Florida Smoke
Free Association (FSFA).
Countless livelihoods have already been destroyed and
we now face the very real prospect of millions of adult
vapers returning to combustible cigarettes. The FSFA is a non-profi t advocacy group comprised of
vaping businesses and consumers. The goal of FSFA is
to support and protect the Florida vaping industry.
FSFA works with legislators and Florida health offi cials
to reduce the devastating effects of combustible
tobacco products.
We have had enough. What else can I do?
Now is the time for vapers and our industry to step
up and support one another and the advocacy groups
fi ghting to save one of the most important public health
innovations of our time.
The TOGETHER WE ARE VAPE campaign will unite
the industry, advocates and consumers across the
world in a show of support for American vapers and
businesses.
Please show your support by contributing to
our £25,000 Just Giving page target, picking up
one of our campaign bracelets and sharing the
#TOGETHERWEAREVAPE hashtag. If you’re in the US, make sure your state and city offi cials
know how important vaping is to you. Be politically
active and share your story far and wide.
Hard facts are not enough in this post-truth era. We
need to change hearts and minds with hard-hitting,
personal testimony.
This is not about ‘kids getting hooked on flavours.’ It’s
about keeping their parents free of tobacco-related
diseases and living healthier, happier and longer lives
for them and their families.
