The Problem
Smoking is the #1 preventable cause of disease and death in North America. Every year, 52% of smokers try to quit; yet less than 5% achieve long term success. Quitting smoking methods approved by governments (NRTs and psychoactives) have an 84%-94% failure rate.
The science on vaping has clearly indicated vaping is an effective harm reduction strategy for smokers. It more than triples the quit rate of NRTs and is a 95% safer alternative!
Yet, in many countries, including Canada and the US, vaping is not being supported by much of the public, governments and health agencies.
Why?
We at VAEP believe this is because people are lacking the information they need to make an informed decision about vaping. The problem is misinformation and a lack of access to accurate information.
The Solution
VAEP is a grassroots nonprofit corporation set up by a registered nurse to help people access accurate information about vaping.
Then, they can make an informed decision.
VAEP is founded on nursing principles such as:
-
self directed learning from credible resources
-
teaching others so they can make informed choices
-
respecting a person’s right to make their own decisions.
In keeping with these principles, our corporate code of ethics is based in medical bioethics.

Maria Papaioannoy-Duic has set up a GoFundMe page to help Kellie Ann take time from hospital nursing to develop VAEP.
We are currently building a free online Learning Center that will include:
-
a video library
-
a reference library
-
myths/truths flowcharts
-
an original works page

short animated videos
