VApril 2021

With it being Vapril this month, we thought we'd re-post an article from the VApril website, to show our support. VApril is the world's largest vaping awareness and education campaign.

Some Top Line Stats About Vaping

According to Public Health England, vaping may be contributing to at least 20,000 smokers quitting every year - with the industry estimating this figure to be much higher - yet the same studies show that an estimated 40% of smokers still haven't even tried vaping. VApril 2019 is focussed on changing this picture by encouraging the UK's 7 million smokers to switch to vaping and learn about how this can be a life changing decision for the good of their health.
