Ignacio Leiva , founder and president of the Association of Vaporizer Consumers of Chile and Asa Saligupta , director and founding member of ENDS Cigarette Smoke Thailand Consumer advocates from various countries are seeking unity in their fight against smoking, bound by their shared goal to provide adult smokers who choose to continue using nicotine with less harmful alternatives to cigarettes.
Leiva credited the GFN with empowering consumer activism in Chile. “The GFN helped us professionalize our advocacy,” he said. “We gained knowledge about harm reduction and what we were fighting for. We were advocating for something we couldn’t properly articulate before.” These devices are part of THR—a public health approach that aims to lessen the harm caused by cigarette smoking, the most dangerous form of tobacco use. Scientific studies show smoke-free products are at least 95-percent less harmful than traditional cigarettes. Unlike cigarettes, these products don’t burn tobacco or produce smoke containing thousands of harmful chemicals.
Saligupta said ECST, with over 100,000 members, has been working to educate the public and advocate to government officials to reverse the ban.
