Support the Movement

Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association (ATHRA) is a registered health promotion charity established to reduce the harm from tobacco smoking in Australia. ATHRA’s aim is to provide smokers and health professionals with evidence-based information on safer alternatives to smoking. ATHRA’s broader goal is to encourage the complete cessation of tobacco smoking in Australia.

Many smokers find it difficult to switch to well known patches or chewing gum, and find that electronic cigarettes or heat-not-burn products have the added advantage of replicating familiar hand-to-mouth ritual and sensations of smoking which smokers can find very hard to stop. Vape The State wants to recognise the overwhelming evidence that vaping is a proven method for smoking cessation, and is far safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.
