Rights 4 Vapers is a movement dedicated to advancing evidence-based regulations on vaping. We are an informal collection of committed volunteers who believe that vapers deserve to make an informed choice. We are guided by unpaid academic advisors.
Change is Overdue. The Safer Nicotine Summit is a step in the right direction. By bringing scientists, policymakers, businesses, and consumers together, the summit aims to craft a pragmatic, evidence-based framework: the Safer Nicotine Act.
Join us @ The Lord Elgin, Ottawa, November 12-13 2025.

Listening to Dr. Tyndall speak about his book is powerful and eye-opening. These sessions are open to everyone! So if you have friends, family, doctors, politicians, or regulators who still repeat the same old myths about vaping, encourage them to attend at least one.
On October 22, 2025 | 7:00–8:30 PM, Dr. Tyndall will be hosting with CVA an in-person book reading and signing at Clutch Vape (211 Yonge St., across from the Eaton Centre).
Books will be available for purchase at the event—or bring your copy to have it signed!
Sometimes, a law isn’t just a law. Sometimes, it’s a warning. And this is a warning. British Columbia’s new Bill, Vaping Products Damages and Health Care Recovery Act is being celebrated as a way to “make industry pay.” But when you dig deeper, you see something far more troubling: a government arming itself with extraordinary

Canada has spawned some of the wildest vaping tall tales, everything from “vaping
