What a month, (if not year) it's been for our industry! We've been on a mission to spread knowledge, raise awareness, and champion responsible vaping practices.
In September, the association, together with policy specialists have been pounding the pavement in Limpopo, making sure the community is clued in on the proposed bill and its potential impact. This bill promises to be the end of the vaping industry as we know it and we cannot take this issue laying down. Our focuses remain the same - we're all about educating, informing, and ensuring adult smokers have access to vaping products while protecting the youth from vaping.
As a testament to our efforts to spread the good word about vaping, we're continuously diving deep into the value of vaping as a harm reduction tool on our #NoSmokeJustVapour YouTubechannel.
This platform is slowly becoming the go-to source for all things vaping, packed with facts that separate myths from science.
This week, we uploaded an episode about the toxicology of vaping and will upload another episode about how vaping products are manufactured – these episodes are a must-see! Watch the first one below.
Make sure to tune in and share! Overall, the mission to save the vaping industry in South Africa continues.
We encourage you to attend the public hearings on the tobacco bill happening across the provinces of South Africa. The next province will be Mpumalanga. These hearings are scheduled for the weekend of 20-22 October. The hearings will be held in 3 towns in the province.
Reach out to us to learn more about how you can get involved. You need to get involved!
Remember, we are not tobacco! With a combined effort between the association, business owners and the vaping community, we can make sure that vaping is here to stay!
