LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
When I cast my eyes over the headlines for this issue , I feel an ominous sense of déjà vu .
The stories about school children being allegedly strip searched in a hunt for vapes and a teenager being tased for using an e-cigarette , seemed all too familiar .
Less than a year after teachers strip searched children and police blasted a teen with 50,000 volts for vaping , I was shocked to learn that the same things were happening again .
I don ’ t understand why , despite the colossal public health benefits of e-cigarettes , there is still a moral war raging over vaping .
But for all the bad news and bizarre attacks on the reduced risk alternative , I ’ m happy to say that there are also a few rays of light to boost the industry ’ s spirits .
The Vapouround Awards are fast approaching and I think it ’ s fair to say there is a buzz of excitement spreading throughout the community .
The opportunity to come together and celebrate the many wins of the industry is amazing and our highly anticipated show has become the perfect place for the industry to do just that .
Check out our stories ‘ Glam , glitz and a grand vaping celebration ’ and ‘ A blast from the past ’ to learn more about our iconic event .
Also the fifth annual VApril event is upon us , representing a brilliant opportunity to
promote and praise the lifesaving power of vaping .
Headed by leading harm reduction advocates and personalities , the UKVIA campaign has gone from strength to strength . It is also great to see VApril teaming up with Smoke Free App to help educate smokers on the tools they can use to successfully quit .
Take a look at our story ‘ VApril is back ’ later in this issue to learn more about the event and what it means for the vape community .
Thank you for your continued support .
