No Vape Tax – About Us…
This website is a joint collaboration between the NNA (New Nicotine Alliance) and Vapers.org.uk.
Both consumer organisations are concerned that the proposed vape tax will punish smokers who want to quit smoking and also vapers who use these products to avoid returning to smoking.
Find out more about both organisations below.
We are funding this campaign using donations to the NNA Go Fund Me page.

The NNA (New Nicotine Alliance) developed from a group of individuals, who – by themselves and through their links with leading smoking and tobacco researchers and policy analysts – have contributed since 2016 to improving individual, organisational and public understanding of what is known as ‘tobacco harm reduction’.
Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) is term used by the Department of Health, OHID (Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, previously Public Health England) and the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence amongst others to describe ways of reducing harm from cigarette smoking without necessarily giving up the use of nicotine.
The Board of NNA and our associates include ex-smokers, public health analysts and scientists, most of whom have succeeded in giving up smoking through the use safer nicotine products
We wish to see a mature public and organisational understanding of the potential of safer nicotine products for reducing cigarette smoking, including their safety and efficacy, and hence contribute to the reduction in cigarette smoking.
This requires engaging with and informing a wide range of individuals and audiences – from health through to regulatory bodies.
The NNA is completely independent of commercial interests in relevant industries (e-cigarettes, tobacco, pharmaceutical companies, etc). It operates on a not-for-profit basis and is free from commercial bias.
Our policies and public statements are evidence-based, with a clear focus on the health of consumers and the wider public.
Vapers.org.uk is a website run by vapers for vapers, collecting news and comments from around the world with regard to vaping. We are all volunteers and not funded in anyway by any aspect of “Big Industry” whether electronic cigarettes, tobacco or pharmaceutical.
The initial aim is to try and collate all the multitude of useful links that appear around the internet via social media into one place, hopefully on a daily basis in the “Latest News” section. Bigger stories that require or justify further comment and correction with fact appear in the “Features” section. We also have a “Campaigns” section – this includes petitions be they local, national or international, protests and meets, media campaigns, and basically anything that requires YOUR support.
There can never be enough positive information about electronic cigarettes in the public domain and it’s our mission to ensure that we add to it as much as we can.
