Puffs: to combat smoking, let's ban a vaping product.
FIVAPE has always welcomed the idea of banning disposable products, which are particularly harmful to the environment. But banning a vaping product in the name of the fight against smoking, without tackling smoking products, begs the question of logic.
Effectiveness of the measure, lack of foresight, tobacco industry interference, youth smoking in France... the "puffs" episode raises many questions. Read the FIVAPE press release - link below.
However, this episode should be a wake-up call. Vape professionals must learn from it. If we want our industry to survive, independent of the tobacco industry, and if vape is to remain an effective cessation tool in the right hands, we have to be beyond reproach: in terms of the quality of our products and the image we give to vape.
Made In France! That's the theme of the next Vapexpo at Paris Expo - Porte de Versailles - on March 23 and 24. What better way to celebrate the French vape industry, one of the most dynamic in the world? French smokers have an exceptional industry at their disposal to help them quit smoking. It's an incredible opportunity, and we need to preserve it and make it known.
This is FIVAPE's mission: to lobby public authorities, the media and stakeholders to defend and promote our industry. We are the N°1 stop-smoking industry in France, we are the N°1 enemies of the tobacco industry.
Come and meet us at Vapexpo, and let's talk about your membership and support for FIVAPE and its actions. Faced with the threats to our industry, we need to mobilize all independent players. Everyone benefits and will benefit from FIVAPE's work, and everyone must play their part.
Enjoy your reading!

President of FIVAPE
