World Vape Day Observed on 30 May 2025.

Important Days | Dated: 01 Jun 2025

World Vape Day is annually observed on May 30, aiming to promote harm reduction strategies for adult smokers by advocating safer nicotine alternatives such as e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and heated tobacco products. It is strategically held a day before World No Tobacco Day (May 31), led by the World Health Organization (WHO).

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - May 30, 2025, marks the 20th anniversary of modern vaping. The theme for World Vape Day 2025 is “20 years of Facts – Vaping Works!”, highlighting vaping’s two-decade contribution to tobacco harm reduction.
  • - Vaping involves using an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), a battery-powered device that converts liquid nicotine into vapor. It uses an atomizer to heat the liquid (often with ethylene glycol), producing a mist that mimics smoking without the harmful smoke.
  • - Initiated by the World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA), a U.S.-based nonprofit, World Vape Day started as a grassroots campaign to lower smoking-related diseases through safer alternatives and promote reasonable regulation of vaping products.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (i) Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, invented e-cigarettes in 2003. These devices became popular in Europe and the USA by 2005 and include variants like vape pens, e-pipes, and e-hookahs, classified under ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems) and ENNDS.
  • (ii) Research by Public Health England (PHE) states vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking. A Cochrane Systematic Review found that nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRTs) in helping smokers quit.
  • (iii) Countries embracing vaping—like the UK, New Zealand, Sweden, Japan, and the USA—have witnessed sharp declines in smoking rates, underlining the effectiveness of vaping as a harm-reduction tool.
