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 2025.

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).
