			It is worth noting that the tobacco company BAT has a relationship with this group, further details including possible astroturfing etc. what appears to be a balanced view can be found here: https://vaping360.com/vape-news/112512/astroturf-vaping-group-exposed-for-the-second-time/ it is suggested to read the linked information in the article above, it's not as simple as all that.

	The World ~~Vapers’~~ Alliance amplifies the voice of passionate vapers around the world and empowers them to make a difference for their communities. Our alliance includes groups representing vapers – our partners – as well as individual vapers from around the world.		Their Website states:''"The World Vapers Alliance amplifies the voice of passionate vapers around the world and empowers them to make a difference for their communities. Our alliance includes groups representing vapers – our partners – as well as individual vapers from around the world.''

	Governments worldwide are increasingly restricting vaping, through measures like making them more expensive and banning flavours. Despite an ever growing amount of independent international evidence proving that vaping is much, much less harmful than smoking, lawmakers continue these crackdowns.

	The World Vapers’ Alliance was established to defend vaping by providing a unified platform that makes vapers’ voices heard by those in the corridors of power. For too long, policy decisions about vaping have been made in a vacuum. Vaping has already changed the lives of millions of smokers for the better and can change countless more if regulators listen to those who have had their lives improved by vaping.


	~~The World Vapers’ Alliance is now an independent 501(c)(3) organization~~, ~~having first been launched~~ and ~~now funded in part by the consumer advocacy group, Consumer Choice Center~~. ~~We welcome funding and donations from partners and individual donors. We are proud to have full independence in our work. We are committed to only representing the interests~~ of ~~consumers~~, ~~empowering them to make informed decisions about their own health~~, ~~and advocating for consumer access to low-risk nicotine products such as vaping~~.
