Join Our Cause

This is an urgent call for us to gather strength in numbers. The truth about nicotine is under siege. If we don’t act, we stand to lose a lot.

Undisputedly, we are the best representatives of our interests, not the opponents of tobacco or policymakers who neither smoke or vape. Now, if we’ll just let them regulate us (on the basis of misinformation or mere lack of contextual perspective), we ought to be giving away, without much contest, the satisfaction and convenience we truthfully enjoy.

To preserve what we could have, we need your voice, your individual participation. We need to unite and put forward our reason. Please contact us how you can become a member.
