Respect Vapers

🚨Vapers, flavours are being banned! By next year the only available vape flavour in Ireland will be tobacco. This would be a disaster for our smoking rates.❌ 🫵Please sign our petition to help us put a stop to the Government’s draconian flavour ban. respectvapers.ie/petition/

New research debunks the "gateway theory", which claims that smoke-free products lead people to cigarettes. A peer-reviewed study published in Research in Economics, based on 1,329 Spanish nicotine consumers, shows the exact opposite. Nearly all nicotine users (9 in 10) started with cigarettes, typically between ages 16 and 18. The average age of switching to smoke-free alternatives such as vapes or heated tobacco was 27, nearly a decade later. Dual users smoked 34% fewer cigarettes annually and achieved a 42% reduction over five years. Nearly half said they switched specifically to cut down or quit. ❗ Nearly one in five quit nicotine entirely. This shows that the “gateway” runs in one direction, and it leads AWAY from cigarettes.

Fairplay to @PadraigRice for calling this out. The Government is not respecting democratic processes on crucial public health legislation that will impact countless people across Ireland! respectvapers.ie

The peer review scrutiny of research papers needs to be far more robust. This paper purporting to show a link between e-cigarettes and cancer should never have been published in the first place.

Another TD who is right on the money 💸 Well done to @PadraigRice who also highlighted the important role flavours play in helping people quit! respectvapers.ie

@RespectVapers @davidcullinane Well said @davidcullinane. Banning e-cigarette flavours is a disastrous policy. Ask the Netherlands.

He has changed his mind on this, because as he said, a lot of users spoke to him. Contact your TD and let them know, maybe they can also see sense.

Kudos to @davidcullinane for speaking up 👏 He is dead right, we need a balanced approach to flavours. They help people quit and change their lives for the better! respectvapers.ie

Ireland is repeating nicotine policies failed that have already failed in multiple countries 👇 Sweeping new restrictions severely limit items widely used by adults attempting to quit smoking. 📄 READ MORE: prohibitiondoesnotwork.com/news/ireland-r…

"When a third of vapers say they would go back to smoking and nearly half say they can easily obtain banned products from abroad, the outcome of this policy is obvious" They have hit the nail on the head - the outcomes of this Bill will be disastrous! prohibitiondoesnotwork.com/news/ireland-r…

Dr. McGovern is right - this will only lead to more people smoking and a growing black market. Tell your TD how it will impact you 👇 respectvapers.ie/contact-your-t…
