Advocacy - What's that?
It's more then you think!
Vape advocacy refers to the efforts of individuals and organizations to support and promote the use of vaping products, often as a harm reduction strategy for smokers.This advocacy can involve educating the public and policymakers about the potential benefits of vaping as an alternative to smoking, supporting the vaping industry, and pushing for regulations that recognize vaping as a less harmful option.
We must give a loud shout out to our most favorite advocate - Nick "Grimm" Green.

Our industry is always under attack.
We wholeheartedly agree with regulation and ensuring that electronic cigarettes stay out of the hands of our youth! However, the proposed costs and regulations to combat this by the government will effectively kill the e-cig market and does not address the problems to reduce tobacco harm reduction. If this industry continues on the current path vaping will effectively die as we know it and transition to a black market with no regulations or safety for our youth. We encourage all of our customers to become more active in fighting for our rights. Everyone should have the right to quit smoking - just like we did.
We support:
- Education on the dangers of smoking vs vaping and nicotine use
- Opposing Taxation
- Supporting Bans to Minors
- Protecting Flavor Options
- Protecting Online and Retail Sales
- Protecting Refillable Vaporizer Markets
- Combating Lies and Propaganda
Supporting this fight in any way will help. We encourage you to follow our Facebook page, call your local politicians, call the White House, engage with CASAA, and please share your stories about how vaping has changed your life.
