Je suis Vapoteur: Promoting the Success of E-Cigarettes in France.
Je suis Vapoteur is a 100% online media dedicated to promoting vaping in France for smokers who want to quit.

In France, electronic cigarettes have been highly successful, particularly for those who want to quit smoking. However, despite research showing that it poses only 5% of the harm to health compared to traditional cigarettes, it is facing threats in France.


I am a Vaper" is an online media outlet created by OneShotMedia that is fully dedicated to promoting electronic cigarettes. Its primary goal is to educate the public, especially long-term smokers who find it difficult to quit, about the many advantages of using e-cigarettes as a means of cessation.


The information contained in this resource comprises a diverse range of vocabulary related to VAPE practices, practical advice on selecting material and getting started, as well as scientific articles including those on plant glycerin. Many professionals worldwide have conducted extensive research and have concluded that VAPE is 95% less harmful to health compared to traditional cigarettes.


Could a smoking cessation product with 95% less harm than traditional cigarettes be a dream? Despite this possibility, VAPE is still facing condemnation in France and around the world. Some have voiced skepticism towards this practice, emphasizing its lack of foresight or its potential to encourage young people to take up smoking and use it as a gateway to smoking. All of these arguments remain unproven, contradicting scientific research results on the advantages of electronic cigarettes, which have been the result of hard work by great scientific and medical professionals.


The electronic cigarette is now under threat in France and Europe, with the possibility of losing the flavorings in e-cigarette oils and being subject to taxation. Supporters of e-cigarettes are clearly concerned about the tightening of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which seeks to regulate e-cigarette products as tobacco products.


The media outlet "Je suis VAPEUR" has suggested that consumers and professionals seeking to support e-cigarettes in France should seek help from elected officials who may not be well-informed on the issue. To make this process easier, the media has created a "Mobilization" section on their website where visitors can send pre-written or personalized messages to their district's representatives in order to raise awareness.


It should not be forgotten that today, electronic cigarettes have become a focal point in Europe. It would be regretful if there wasn't an estimated smoking cessation tool that could save as many as 45,000 lives every year.


As pointed out by the Federation Addiction, three out of ten people in France smoke, a figure that remains higher than most neighboring European countries. Additionally, 75,000 people still die each year as a result of smoking, making it a leading cause of preventable death. There is now a greater need than ever before for mobilization.

GSTHR Estimates 200 Million People Use Non-Combustible Nicotine Products as 28 Countries Show Rising Use Alongside Falling Smoking Rates
GSTHR Estimates 200 Million People Use Non-Combustible Nicotine Products as 28 Countries Show Rising Use Alongside Falling Smoking Rates
The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction, a project operated by Knowledge·Action·Change, estimates that about 200 million people worldwide use non-combustible nicotine products including vapes, heated tobacco, nicotine pouches and snus. Its 2026 report says use of these products rose alongside declining smoking rates in 28 countries it analyzed. The data do not establish that all 200 million users have quit smoking, nor do they prove a direct causal relationship. GSTHR also says regulatory restrictions on the products continue to expand in many markets.

Cochrane 2026 Update Adds Nine Trials, Keeps High-Certainty Finding That Nicotine E-Cigarettes Improve Quit Rates Over NRT
Cochrane 2026 Update Adds Nine Trials, Keeps High-Certainty Finding That Nicotine E-Cigarettes Improve Quit Rates Over NRT
Cochrane’s 2026 update of its living review on electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation included 80 randomized controlled trials involving 29,861 adult smokers, with nine trials added in this update. The review retained its high-certainty conclusion that nicotine e-cigarettes increase smoking cessation rates compared with nicotine replacement therapy. In absolute terms, about 10 in 100 people using nicotine e-cigarettes may quit smoking for at least six months, compared with about 6 in 100 using NRT. The review found no clear difference in serious adverse event rates between the two groups, while longer-term safety and the relative effectiveness of newer device types remain less certain.

From Border-Logistics Insiders to Retail Service Stations, Australia Mounts a Sweeping Crackdown on the Illicit Nicotine Trade as iGET Vapes Surface in A$80 Million Crime Networks
Australian authorities have disclosed two major enforcement actions that go beyond product seizures and retail closures to examine how illicit tobacco and vape networks operate. On Aug. 14, the Multi Agency Strike Team said seven people had been charged and two criminal networks were valued by authorities at a combined A$80 million, or about US$56.8 million. Investigators allege the groups used bonded warehouses, freight businesses and “trusted insiders” in legitimate industries to circumvent border controls. In a separate operation on Aug. 11, more than 100 service stations were targeted as authorities sought information on illicit tobacco importation, distribution networks and the movement of sales proceeds.

Australian Coalition Taskforce Calls for 80% Tobacco Tax Cut to Combat Illicit Market
Australian Coalition Taskforce Calls for 80% Tobacco Tax Cut to Combat Illicit Market
According to SGST on August 26, 2026, Australia’s Coalition Illegal Tobacco Taskforce released a report recommending an up to 80% cut in tobacco excise to reduce the appeal of the illicit tobacco market. The report claimed organised crime groups now control about 80% of Australia’s tobacco market and argued that high excise rates have widened the price gap between legal and illegal products. The recommendation remains a policy proposal and has not been adopted by the Australian government, which said its focus remains on enforcement, compliance and additional resources.
