We need to help people quit smoking rather than engage on a war against nicotine and that is why we need events like World Vape Day .
v
apers love to speak about how discovering e-cigarettes finally enabled them to quit smoking .
This was especially so on Monday May 30 when people from around the globe marked World Vape Day .
Activists from organisations big and small used the day to celebrate successes and highlight just how effective vaping is in helping smokers quit .
The World Vapers ’ Alliance held a special event from Tibilisi , Georgia , with the motto ‘ Celebrating Harm Reduction ’ to recognize the role of vaping has in helping people live better lives .
The celebrations were streamed live on YouTube and featured testimonies from dozens of former smokers who told how vaping had transformed their lives for the better .
These are the types of first-hand accounts which politicians often take more notice of than the dry scientific reports published in medical journals .
It was amazing to see so many ordinary people from all walks of life and from all around the world , essentially telling the same story about the power of vaping .
Can there be any more powerful way to advocate for vaping than the combined voices of so many people who have finally found a way to quit smoking ?
Here are some of our highlights from the WVA World Vape Day coverage .
