Vapitaly 2020 Virtual

From Evali (E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury) to Covid-19, the opposition to vaping in the USA never misses an opportunity to pursue their crusade.

Following a pressing disinformation campaign, many States have banned - or are about to ban – the use of aromas in e-liquids, and the number of consumers is falling.

But there may be a recipe to save vaping: a return to its original purpose, i.e. helping people to give up smoking.

Speakers: Phil Busardo and Dimitris Agrafiotis, experts and supporters of vaping.
