Goodnight! #BeKind

Nearly half of adult vapers (47%) choose fruit flavours-because quitting doesn't have to taste like tobacco. Variety keeps ex-smokers smoke-free! #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

Flavours matter! NIH data show adults using flavoured vapes are more than twice as likely to quit cigarettes than those on unflavoured devices. Taste the progress. #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

Oxford research warns: ban flavours and 5 in 10 vapers could return to smoking or unsafe black-market products. Let's keep proven quit aids legal & regulated. #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

When flavour choices disappear, smokers reappear. Research shows flavour bans create 3-4 extra daily smokers for every 5 fewer vapers. Choice saves lives. #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

Thinking of banning disposables? King's College London points to quicker, adaptive solutions that protect quitters and cut relapse. Let's innovate, not eliminate! #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

Disposable vapes aren't tempting lifelong non-smokers (just 1.5%), but they ARE helping people break free: 19% of recent quitters and 16% of smokers rely on them. Smart policy keeps the quit tools that work. #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

Eurobarometer: 92-94% of non-smokers aren't interested in vaping, heated tobacco or pouches. These tools speak to SMOKERS, not newcomers, so let's keep them available for the people who need them. #20YearsofFacts #worldvapeday worldvapeday.eu/get-involved/

Why We Need World Vape Day More Than Ever We are the people who used to smoke. There would be many more of us if the world weren’t exposed to massive amounts of misinformation.

DYK that May 30 is World Vape Day? A day that people who used to smoke celebrate their safer choices.
