Jenny | I was a smoker for 41 years, tried lots of methods to stop, started using an e-cig in October 2015, have not smoked tobacco since then. | ||
Kieran | Vaping has the potential to save billions of lives. Anyone responsible for banning vaping should be charged with murder. | ||
Pau | Nicotine is known to be not significantly addictive (similar to caffeine). Vaping is known to be a very low health risk to the vaper and the risk to other people is insignificant. These risks are unlikely to change over time. There is no reason to associate vaping with smoking – the are not the same. There is no reason for the WHO to be concerned with vaping and e-cigarettes as they are not a health hazard. On the contrary, they are a significant benefit if a smoker chooses to switch to vaping. |

Jasim | I have been smoking for 12 years but not any more. I was going through YouTube, came across best vape tricks, found about vaping and how it is changing life around the world, tried it myself, since then never touched a single cigarette thanks to vaping and now it has become a hobby. I would love to see it that one day no more tobacco exist it becomes like cocaine illegal every where worldwide. | |

Taha | Vaping has been a life saver for tens of thousands of people, as it's a lot more safer alternative of smoking. If it gets banned, all the deaths that'll occur because of smoking and tobacco will be on the people that will pass the petition of banning Vaping. I'm sure nobody would want to live this life with such a heavy burden on their shoulders. Think twice before getting to any conclusion and please think about the people, rather than the Tobacco industry. Thanks! |
