Everyone assumes it's a bad thing to vape, and people who vape are bad people. But my friends are really nice and vaping is a way of coping with things for them. The stereotypes surrounding vapers are unfair and harmful. Many people use vaping as a safer alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes, which have been proven to be more harmful (CDC). Additionally, restricting the availability of vapes could push individuals back towards smoking or other unhealthy habits.

It's time to change the narrative around vaping and recognize it as a legitimate coping mechanism for many. Please sign this petition to end the stigmatization of vapers and ensure that vapes remain accessible for those who need them.
