Cigarettes have impacted my family in the worst way they can, both of my parents have died from smoking related cancers. Knowing this, I still struggled with this harmful addiction.

3 years ago I educated myself on what vaping is. I focused on science and the proven health benefits found in countries that are promoting a healthier general public. Since then, I have successfully quit cigarettes, improved my health and lifestyle. My family has experienced a smoke free, healthy and happy Dad.

 

The current regulation prevents the majority of current smokers from making a straight forward switch. I've helped older generations in my circle with the earlier already convoluted solution, but on their own they would have continued smoking. There is no support for people, the Pharmacy setting does not provide advice, and the majority of Doctors are hesitant to prescribe vaping due to the mass amount of confusing information around it.

 

People have individual needs and nuances that help them successfully quit tobacco.

We don’t want to be treated as patients. We weren’t patients when we were smokers.

We need sensible, regulated access, similar to current tobacco or alcohol access.
