It’s time to stand up and protect Americans, like Ian and Andre, who are trying desperately to quit smoking cigarettes.
Our members aren’t asking for special treatment – just for the American vaping industry to have the same chance of success as everyone else.
Small vape businesses, like Stacey’s, support thousands of jobs across American main streets. They deserve a real chance to thrive, free from government overreach.
"Exclusive #ecig use was... linked to lower odds of wheezing than exclusive cigarette smoking. These findings suggest that, while complete abstinence remains the lowest-risk option, ecig use may pose fewer respiratory symptoms than smoking." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41044759/
Vaping products are proven to help adults, like Eddie and Jonathan, stop smoking. We need to make sure we’re protecting their access to the products that work for them.
We can’t restrict adult choice in favor of protecting kids. We can – and must – do both.
Small businesses across the country, like Alyssa’s, are being crushed and forced to close. It’s time for real change that allows vape shops the chance to succeed.
We believe in the American system – that a free market and consumers should decide which products succeed, not the nanny state.
