Clearly there’s an epidemic

Epidemic: A widespread disease that affects many people. Smoking kills 17,000 people EVERY DAY! These deaths are 100% preventable. A safer source of nicotine means millions of lives saved, not to mention the quality of life for these people improves.

Very poor quit rates

Before vaping, about half of smokers tried to quit every year but only 2.5% of smokers quit long term in a year. Despite the cost, health consequences and social shaming, most smokers are destined to the eventual smoking-related diseases.

Up to 600 chemicals are added to cigarettes

Over decades, scientists were paid millions of dollars to add different chemicals to tobacco & make them more addictive. Many of the chemicals in cigarettes enhance the effects and delivery of nicotine. Some chemicals are addictive in themselves.

Nicotine is not the problem

When the tobacco and chemicals are burned more chemicals are produced. Cigarette smoke contains over 7000 chemicals. We know that over 1500 of those chemicals cause disease and 69 cause cancer.

Smoking kills 2 out of 3 users

100% of smoking-related diseases are preventable! “The harm from tobacco is overwhelmingly due to its combustion … E-cigarette vapour, in contrast, does not include any combustible by-products,” – Action on Smoking and Health

One American dies every minute from smoking

It takes years of smoking before the diseases take a hold of the smoker. These adults often have families & can no longer provide for them as their health deteriorates. Smoking-related diseases effect the whole family as it destroys the smoker’s health.
