6 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE USA
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to this special edition of Vapouround Magazine USA.
This edition has been produced especially for the World Vaper Expo 2016 and we are
sure this is going to be an absolutely fantastic event indeed.
We are so proud to be one of the official media partners at such a prestigious event
and we are delighted to be able to share our content with so many US-based vapers.
The UK edition of the magazine has gone from strength to strength and we have
always had a huge following with American vapers who picked up our magazine at
various shows and events.
After so many requests from people asking where they could get their own copy we
decided to produce a special edition to coincide with the World Vaper Expo.
This magazine is the result of all our hard work and we hope you enjoy what we have
put together for you.
We always have fun when we attend events around the world and enjoy connecting
with so many people within the industry.
World Vaper Expo is an event we particularly love attending so if you see any of the
Vapouround Magazine team during the weekend then be sure to stop by and
say ‘hi’ to us all.
We would also love to hear about what you think about the magazine and your
thoughts on the state of the current vaping industry.
Certainly we are in very challenging times indeed with vaping and vaping related
products being increasingly subjected to some quite draconian levels of regulation.
It is one thing imposing quality standards to protect the public from harm but it is
another thing entirely by imposing levels of regulation which could decimate the entire
industry and drive vaping underground.
One of the great things about this industry is how people all over the world have
positive stories to tell about how e-cigarettes saved their lives by getting them off
traditional cigarettes.
This has repeatedly been backed up by research which says that vaping is far safer
than traditional smoking.
So let’s have responsible, proportionate and logical legislation to protect people from
harm but let’s not risk destroying an entire industry by classifying vaping products as
tobacco products.
We don’t want any more lives lost to smoking but if vaping is regulated out of existence
then, sadly that is exactly what could happen.
