Old farts vaping
Old Farts Vaping is an advocacy idea to show that most current vapers are not young people. The bulk of users are in fact adults, youth make up less than 1 in 10 regular vapers.

Youth Vaping is discussed in detail on these pages: Youth Epidemic and ENDS Youth & Young Adults. See those for more information. TL/DR: 90% of the attention goes to youth, who make up less than 10% of the users of the product; that is crazy!
![The disconnect between public perception and reality: A graph showing 480,000 deaths a year cause no public concern, that 17M users are adults and unnoticed, and a tiny bar showing that teens hardly use the product (2.5M) cause huge concern and panic.](/mediawiki/images/thumb/e/e4/Youth_the_target-no.jpeg/500px-Youth_the_target-no.jpeg)
The idea was from Charles Gardner originally but has turned into a group effort, using the hashtag #OldFartsVaping on Twitter. Image submissions are welcome, and encouraged please see details at the bottom of the page on how to do that...
