Because it's effective and easily accessible, vape has become the most popular aid for quitting smoking and weaning yourself off nicotine.
Vape is not a tobacco product, nor is it a "new nicotine industry". Independent vape is a new stop-smoking industry. Faced with the model of a new dependency that the tobacco industry is trying to impose, we advocate one of emancipation.
The tobacco-independent sector represents 85% of the vape market in France, and we are the N°1 players in the fight against smoking in France. Several million French people have already quit smoking thanks to vaping and the support of specialized professionals.
