“Merci la Vape”—French Advocates Counter Relentless Anti-Vape Moves

French tobacco harm reduction faces challenges despite high smoking rates. Activists united to produce the white paper "Merci la vape," advocating for vaping benefits and fighting misinformation. Backed by crowdfunding, it includes a major survey revealing the impact of vaping on smoking cessation. Efforts include a petition against proposed anti-vape measures. The European Commission’s support for a disposable vape ban in France raises concerns. Philip Poirson of Sovape explains the goals behind the initiative, aiming to inform policymakers and change harmful regulations. Despite opposition and negative press, they aim to influence tobacco harm reduction policies positively.
