Question 13: Flavors. Along with children wanting to use e-cigs, flavors is their reason they say these are dangerous. Vapers WANT flavors. Flavors are very important. In the age group above, these people chose flavors at an extremely high rate, showing they want to stay © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. away from the 4% who use tobacco flavor only.

DO think there's plenty of bad studies and anti-vaping propaganda out there, I think the vaping community is totally unwilling to consider the possibilities that there are risks associated with vaping. It's as if some vapers believe that vaping is akin to some health food. Simply being \"better\" than smoking (which I believe it is) DOES NOT make it \"good\" for you - a concept that seems to be lost © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. on many in the vaping community. biased/uninformed people. Many institutions I used to trust are now revealed as manipulative self- interested and disingenuous about their stated motives. tax revenues as one of their biggest (I'd bet THE biggest) reason they want to control or outright ban e-cigarettes. Pharmaceutical companies want the
same because their ineffective quit smoking aids won't be needed and their expensive medications that treat all the ailments caused by smoking won't be needed. Tobacco companies want the same restrictions on e-cigs and on cigarettes - i.e., taxes, no flavors - because they're already losing money to vapers. discouraging smokers from trying vaping to stop © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. smoking.

Question 15: Any other comments? Suggestions? Thanks for taking this survey! These were the last six left on #15 of over 700. Excuse my English, I'm French speaking don't smell like cigarettes anymore. I'm not risking my family's health with second hand smoke. I spend so much less money.

to cigarettes for the first time since I was 10 years old. At 37 I do not appreciate the Government attempting to intervene in the name of safety, health or any other reason when I believe in my heart Government is only acting on behalf of the people who stand to lose money if vaping replaces smoking and medical smoking cessation products (pharmaceutical companies and big tobacco). I believe the public is being lied to and over- medicated. Government can spend my tax money © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. on far better things than regulating yet another industry. The disinformation surrounding vaping is scary, and even more frightening is how fast this disinformation was put out to the media, spread to the four corners of the country and picked up by the most absorbent of the easily-swayed population. New regulations are more and more looking like another way for Government to legislate morality and keep the money machine working in favor of
the giant corporations. It makes me so very sad and angry. turkey. Nothing made me quit smoking until I discovered vaping. I feel so much healthier l. I don't cough anymore or cough up nasty phlegm. I don't get short of breath. I feel like I can breath. I smell and taste so much better. Best of all, I don't stunk like an ashtray anymore.

http://vapers.org.uk/ The http://vapers.org.uk organization was instrumental in going worldwide. They introduced the survey to their audience. I don’t remember how it came across my eye, but I saw they had it on their site, and this is the post, and my response Posted on 27th December 2014 by Alan Beard (Thank you, © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. Alan!) below: http://vapers.org.uk/vaping-truth-survey “This was originally posted as a comment to our news post but we thought it deserved a proper mention. A very interesting survey, with regular updates of results by Kevin, it certainly could do with more support from the UK/EU:-“
Hello to you all on vapers.org.uk from across the pond! The coverage for this survey is important in so many ways. Our vaping community can point to anyone contemplating vaping as a way to stop smoking straight to this survey and its results to date. The false, misleading, irresponsible & intimidating media, health, various officials, Governments & W.H.O. worldwide we all know so well motivated me to do this. © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. This survey in part, will be a place anyone can go and look at these results to make an informed decision with balance from US who VAPE, which is the attention it deserves. This survey is not controlled, manipulated or contrived information. It’s “The Vaping Truth”, with comments from any of you who’ve chosen to leave them. It’s up to 3,620 survey takers at the moment of this post.
I created this completely unfunded & unsponsored survey, “amateur” as some may end up saying. I will admit that I am just a guy who took some initiative without experience, and others will (and have) admit in its own right, this has brought POWERFUL & indisputable results and positive light to our cause to date. I so very much appreciate the attention you’ve brought to it! The goal is to have absolute awareness about vaping FROM vapers. 100,000 IS my goal for responses. I must say at this point © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. THANK YOU to ALL who’ve engaged this, that have retweeted, and posted on facebook and hope more DO! That’s how it got to where it is. I thank you for having it here as well. You can find me on the link above, it also shows my twitter/facebook accounts as needed. Keep ON #Vaping ON. Kevin
With the UK promoting it, (thank you!) the introduction to EVUN was next: https://www.facebook.com/groups/462613220525777 , who inspired me to add the translator. That brought real worldwide participation from 72 countries. Hazel Mamamia, ( thank you, Hazel!) for inspiring that! In a few comments, there was the word “anecdotal”. Others had “biased”. Well, yes. Quickly, an article came streaming across my eye and gave me more hope! (Thank you, Norbert!) © 2015, The Vaping Truth Survey, All Rights Reserved. https://nzillatron.wordpress.com/2014/11/01/benificial-bias Finally, again, Twitter & Facebook were the ultimate two pushing from individuals to forums, groups, pages and much more than I’m probably ever going to find or be aware of. The truest form of positive interaction in vaping is sharing information.
Continue to do that within your networks of fellow vapers! We should all be very proud of these results.
