WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

ZVS is a Slovenian non-profit consumer advocacy group. We sincerely believe that the e-cigarette industry will survive and help thousands or even millions of people around the world to switch from tobacco to a less harmful alternative, and benefit from many advantages of the new technology.

We hope to provide sufficient resources and information, and give the community and the government sufficient grounds to consider in passing laws on e-cigarettes. It is our goal to educate the public, media and government officials, address concerns about the electronic cigarettes and their safety, and dispel misconceptions and misinformation regarding these products. It is critical that the government and public health institutions adopt less harmful tobacco products and provide education, services and other measures in order to preserve the public health and safety.

E-cigarettes potentially provide a way quitting smoking for those who failed using the existing tested methods.

Professor Robert West, University College London

Vaping can help you quit smoking in an easy way«, is in my opinion (although I think I am sharing this opinion with the majority of ex-smokers who are now vapers) at the top of the list of things nobody ever told you about smoking.

Smokers should switch to vaping, and vapers should stop smoking completely.”

Martin Dockrell, Public Health England

“Every time I see someone vaping I think: that’s another person NOT smoking a cigarette.”

Louise Ross, Leicester City Stop Smoking Service

When I attempted to quit smoking, I had been waiting for for the hard part everyone keeps talking about for quite a while. Surprisingly, this never happened.

An e-cigarette user

Since e-cigarettes are different from nicotine replacement therapies, the users should have different expectations.

Lorien Jollye, New Nicotine Alliance

Maybe I should add that it wasn’t actually my intention to quit smoking. I was just looking for something I could puff at home. Well, I am proud to say I have been smoke free ever since.
