American Vaping Association (AVA, Advocates)The American Vaping Association is a nonprofit organization that
advocates for
small- and medium-sized businesses in the rapidly growing
vaping and electronic
cigarette industry. We are dedicated to educating
the public and government officials
about financial and public health
benefits offered by vapor products, which are
battery-powered devices
that heat a liquid nicotine or nicotine-free solution and
create an
inhalable vapor.
Consumer Advocates For Smoke-Free Smoking Alternatives (CASAA, Consumers)Their mission is to ensure the availability of effective, affordable and reduced harm
alternatives to smoking by increasing public awareness and education; to encourage
the testing and development of products to achieve acceptable safety standards
and reasonable regulation; and to promote the benefits of reduced harm alternatives.
Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Association (SFATA, Businesses)Their long-term goal is the promotion of vapor products such as electronic
cigarettes
as separate and distinct from tobacco. SFATA believes
appropriate and proportionate
regulation is pivotal to the success of
the industry. We support the implementation of
high quality standards of
manufacturing and quality control and believe these standards
should
form the basis of a reasonable regulatory scheme for vapor products.
The Vaping Militia (TVM, Vendor & Individual)They are committed
to protecting the rights and health of vapors by advocating
for safe
public use of personal vaporizers. We strongly believe and promote
peaceful and
professional activism/advocacy.
