IIt ’ s hard to believe it ’ s been an entire year since the last World Vape Day . Celebrations are taking place online again this year due to COVID-19 but there are still plenty of events planned .
The aim of World Vape Day ( WVD ) is to raise awareness of e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool for smokers . It also provides information for anyone thinking about switching to vaping and campaigns on behalf of countries that are experiencing harsh bans or restrictions . It falls on May 30 which is the day before World No Tobacco Day .
The theme for 2021 is ‘ Go The Extra Mile ’ which will encourage vapers to go that little bit further to support and promote vaping . It will also be used as a hashtag to collect stories and showcase events on the day . Events will be streamed through the World Vape Day social media sites such as Facebook , YouTube and Twitter .
Throughout the month of May , organisers are planning a ‘ World Vape Run ’ as a prelude to the day which will give vapers the chance to be creative and show their fitness . At the end of the run , vapers can post and share their running time to social media under the
# RunVaperRun and # WorldVapeDay .

He added : “ There will always be hurdles on the long path to defending and promoting vaping , but we should never forget that it is always worth going the extra mile for vaping — for us and public health in general .
“ During World Vape Day , vapers will hear great success stories from our partners around the world and catch up with top figures in the vaping community .”
This year Vapouround Magazine is teaming up with the WVA as an official media partner for World Vape Day .
