In less than 10 days, more than 120 contributors answered the call from the associations AIDUCE, SOVAPE, LA VAPE DU CŒUR and FIVAPE to finance the publication and distribution of MERCI LA VAPE - Livre blanc pour une politique d'intérêt général sur la vape.
Available to the public in a free digital version since May 31, the book has already been downloaded more than 1,000 times (please note: the results of the survey of 40,000 respondents are appended to the book):
The exceptional level of mobilization, which enabled us to achieve a 200% success rate in the crowdfunding campaign, once again reinforces the legitimacy of the associations and gives them the means to disseminate the white paper even more widely to decision-makers, healthcare professionals and the media.
In all transparency, the name of each contributor will be recorded in the printed version, which will be deposited with the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
The MERCI LA VAPE petition, which has almost reached its goal of 100,000 supporters, will remain open for a few days until the book is completed:
The associations would like to extend their warmest thanks to the tens of thousands of people who have been mobilizing for MERCI LA VAPE over the past year, an action whose scope is unprecedented and historic in the fight against smoking in France and around the world.
.pdf version of this press release
The associations AIDUCE, SOVAPE, LA VAPE DU COEUR and FIVAPE, each in their own field, fight against smoking. They advocate harm reduction, a humane approach that is highly appreciated by users. They have no links whatsoever with the tobacco industry, and claim as much in their articles of association and in their actions.
