The AVCA Vape It Forward (VIF) program helps smokers switch from combustible tobacco to electronic cigarettes/personal vapourisers.

The money donated for the Vape It Forward (VIF) program is used to help with postage, publication and loaner equipment for those folks who are unable to access vaping gear due to their remote location and/or financial situation.

About us

AVCA - we educate the public and any interested party regarding e-cigarettes - what we do, why we do it and how to best utilise them to switch from combustible tobacco. Our mission is to Inform, Educate and Advocate for Tobacco Harm Reduction.

Our most recent efforts have been geared towards mentoring smokers towards vaping and providing information, education and assistance to smoking cessation providers countrywide, free of charge. We have also provided the government with scientific information, peer reviewed research and links to experts and recent, objective information on e-cigarettes and vaping.

Information is key. Knowledge is power. We are about empowering people to make choices based on recent, scientific information combined with the anecdotal experiences of those who have successfully made the switch from combustible tobacco to e-cigarettes.

Use of funds

Funds raised provide for the operational costs of running the program - publications that are handed out, training documents for mentor/advocates, equipment for loan to those who do not otherwise have access to a vape shop.
