The Economic Impact of Vaping
The Vapor Industry Creates Jobs and Economic Activity in States and Congressional Districts Across The Country
The nicotine vapor industry is a dynamic part of the U.S. economy, accounting for about $22.09 billion in output or about 0.10 percent of GDP. It employs approximately 133,573 Americans who earned wages and benefits of about $7 billion.
Members of the industry and their employees paid $2.83 billion in federal, state and local taxes. This does not include state and local sales taxes or excise taxes that may apply for specific retail purchases which are estimated to total $1.88 billion.

If @AGPamBondi, @RobertKennedyJr, and @DrMakaryFDA’s raids continue, they will eliminate 90,000 jobs and $5 billion in tax revenue this year alone.
Now served with a community note.
Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association, sharply criticized the raid, saying the FDA is “seizing products from American companies that have complied with regulations.”
Adult vapers should be the ones who decide which products succeed – not unelected bureaucrats driven by @DrMakaryFDA’s personal agenda.
Without access to a wide variety of flavored vaping products, adults will continue smoking and dying from cigarette-related diseases.

Earlier this year, VTA conducted polling with @KellyannePolls and found Trump voters broadly supported @realDonaldTrump's commitment to protect vaping and small American vape shops.

Nearly 500,000 Americans die from smoking-related illnesses each year. @DrMakaryFDA, it’s time to give them access to the tools that could save their lives – a wide array of flavored vaping products.
Transparent, science-driven policy should lead @FDATobacco’s decision-making, not @DrMakaryFDA’s personal agenda.
Thanks to @realDonaldTrump, there is no youth vaping epidemic. @DrMakaryFDA, it’s time to make real changes that protect adult access to flavored vapor products.
Small vaping businesses contribute millions to local U.S. economies. They deserve the opportunity to continue thriving.
VTA is proud to advocate for a well-regulated, legal, open market that allows consumers to choose which products succeed – not unelected bureaucrats.
Pennsylvanians, make your voices heard and protect small businesses across the state. Contact your lawmakers today: https://vaportechnology.org/action-center/#/53
Freedom of choice is a distinctly American principle. Why is @FDAtobacco forcing @CBP to deprive American adults of the freedom to choose the flavored vaping products they want to use?
The vaping industry deserves the same opportunity as every other American industry: to compete in a well-regulated, legal marketplace.
By refusing to authorize a wide variety of flavored vaping products, @DrMakaryFDA and @FDAtobacco are refusing to save the lives of the nearly 500,000 Americans who die each year from smoking-related illnesses.
VTA’s members are the small vape shops contributing millions to the American economy. We’re focused on ensuring they’re able to thrive. Join us today to support our efforts:
