Mission & Interests

Goals: The World Vapers’ Alliance amplifies the voice of passionate vapers around the world and empowers them to make a difference for their communities. Our alliance includes groups representing vapers – our partners – as well as individual vapers from around the world. Governments worldwide are increasingly restricting vaping, through measures like making them more expensive and banning flavours. Despite an ever-growing amount of independent international evidence proving that vaping is much, much less harmful than smoking, lawmakers continue these crackdowns. The World Vapers’ Alliance was established to defend vaping by providing a unified platform that makes vapers’ voices heard by those in the corridors of power. For too long, policy decisions about vaping have been made in a vacuum. Vaping has already changed the lives of millions of smokers for the better and can change countless more if regulators listen to those who have had their lives improved by vaping.
