Millions of vapers, e-cigarette users and harm reduction advocates across the globe, celebrated World Vape Day, on the 30th of May, a day before World No Tobacco Day.
The aim of World Vape Day is raising awareness about the relative safety of e-cigarettes and their potential as harm reduction and smoking cessation tools. The goal is encouraging smokers who are unable to quit unaided, to do so by switching to the safer alternatives.
