Fight the vaping ban

The New Nicotine Alliance has produced a simple, accurate and easy-to-read summary of why the proposed vaping ban is an appalling idea. You can read it on a webpage or as a PDF.

If you hit the webpage you will be guided towards the public consultation. I urge you to respond. 

 

Please take a few moments to complete the official consultation by visiting the government website here and sharing your views. When you fill out the form, you might find it helpful to focus on how vaping has helped you or others stay away from combustible tobacco. Do not be put off by questions which ask for new evidence, your lived experience is evidence in its own right, so please feel free to tell your stories.

You can also mention that current scientific evidence shows no material harm to bystanders, as explained in our briefing.

Your contribution does not need to be long or overly technical to be effective. It simply needs to be an honest reflection of why a public ban would be counterproductive to health goals. By speaking up now, we can help protect the progress the UK has made in reducing smoking rates. Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to make your voice count in this important discussion.

 

In my experience, most vapers don't know what is about the hit them. Because of the way this was press released two weeks ago, they think it is only about banning vaping in cars with hits or think it is something to do with vaping outside hospitals. It isn't. It is everything: pubs, clubs, all workplaces, football grounds, vape shops, the lot. 

 

Resist it while you still can. The government's Impact Assessment is a dog's dinner and a lot of people in politics and 'public health' don't really have their heart in it. Let's make this another U-turn.
