Je Suis Vapoteur, a media platform created by OneShotMedia agency, has emerged as a powerful advocate for the maintenance of vaping in France. As the e-cigarette faces threats despite its success in helping people quit smoking, Je Suis Vapoteur offers a platform for everyone to defend and engage in support of this alternative to traditional cigarettes.
Informing the Public About Vaping Benefits
The primary objective of Je Suis Vapoteur is to inform the public, particularly long-time smokers struggling to quit, about the numerous advantages of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. The platform provides a wealth of information, including a lexicon specific to vaping, practical advice for choosing the right equipment and getting started, and scientific articles demonstrating that vaping is 95% less harmful than traditional cigarettes.
With Je Suis Vapoteur, future e-cigarette users are better equipped to start vaping and learn about its effects on quitting smoking and overall health.
Mobilizing Support in the Face of Threats
Despite studies proving that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than traditional cigarettes, vaping remains criticized in France and worldwide. Some question the practice, arguing that there is a lack of long-term data or that it encourages young people to start smoking. However, these arguments are not supported by rigorous scientific studies that have demonstrated the benefits of e-cigarettes.
As a result, vaping is currently threatened in France and Europe, with the risk of e-liquid flavors disappearing and vaping products being increasingly taxed. Vaping enthusiasts are concerned about a tightening of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which regulates vaping products by considering them as tobacco products.
Encouraging Consumers and Professionals to Take Action
To support the maintenance of vaping in France, Je Suis Vapoteur encourages consumers and professionals to contact elected officials, who are often poorly informed on the subject. The platform provides pre-written or customizable messages that users can send to their constituency's deputy to draw attention to the issue.
Vaping professionals can download and distribute a multitude of documents available on the Je Suis Vapoteur website, which inform and invite people to mobilize. Users and professionals can join forces by widely sharing the content present on the platform, either by printing documents and distributing them or by promoting the site on social media.
The Importance of Preserving Vaping as a Smoking Cessation Tool
It is crucial to remember that vaping is currently in the crosshairs of Europe, and it would be unfortunate to deprive people of a smoking cessation tool that could save up to 45,000 lives per year.
According to the Fédération Addiction, three out of ten people in France smoke, a higher proportion than in most neighboring European countries. Each year, 75,000 people die from the consequences of smoking, which remains the leading cause of preventable death.
As the debate surrounding vaping continues, Je Suis Vapoteur serves as a vital platform for mobilizing support and ensuring that e-cigarettes remain accessible to those seeking an alternative to traditional cigarettes.
