RE: Potential ENDS Ban
Dear United Nations:
I am writing to you as an individual. I am not speaking on behalf of any group or affiliation. I am aware of the debates around the world regarding ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery systems).
I do not believe that Ecigs and Vaper Pens are the same product. Ecigs are specifically intended to be an alternative version of a tobacco cigarette. While Vaper Pens are entirely different. The difference is similar to comparing walking, to taking a bike, to flying. When I am traveling from New York to London, walking or using a bike will not get me there in any reasonable amount of time. The term "ecig" is not accurate when speaking about devices that do not resemble a cigarette. Would you compare a bike to an airplane? Vaper Pens have helped many people I personally know quit smoking easily.
I believe Vapor Pens should be used by any current cigarette smoker or former cigarette smoker to aid in their struggle to become a non-smoker. I do not have scientific proof of their effectiveness or risk, and do not have the funds to research it.
I have witnessed many smokers win their battle with cigarette addiction using ENDS, specifically Vaper Pens (that the EU is proposing to eliminate all together.)
There are groups of people who want to eliminate small businesses from the ENDS market, by creating mandates that only large companies can afford. There are groups who want to eliminate ENDS from the market completely.
Responsible rules must be in place to ensure a safe product is available for consumers without a prescription (as this may deter people from trying to use them to quit, since other smoke cessation aids offered for medical use have been expensive and only marginally effective).
I am a single voice requesting that the United Nations create a task force, to support the development, promotion and implementation of international norms and standards, specifically for Vaper Pens.
Respectfully,

According to The World Health Organizations
ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery systems) are devices whose function is to vaporize and deliver to the lungs of the user a chemical mixture typically composed of nicotine, propylene glycol and other chemicals, although some products claim to contain no nicotine. A number of ENDS are offered in flavours that can be particularly attractive to adolescents. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are the most common prototype of ENDS.
