An alliance of Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) advocates in the Asia Pacific Region
^ To advocate for the rights of smokers and users of safer nicotine products (SNP) to have access and for public health officials and governments support and implement risk proportionate regulation in their countries.^ To provide information and news on THR – what is it, why is it important and how individuals can get involved in the cause of reducing health harm from tobacco – through petitions, surveys and submissions.
AVCA is a NZ registered Charitable Trust (CC# 553899)/Health education charity in Aotearoa New Zealand focussed on Tobacco Harm Reduction. Our mission is simple: Educate, Inform, Advocate, Community. All of those involved are doing this work voluntarily, out of the conviction that there is a better way for smokers to be rid of the beast of combustible tobacco – once and for all.
We are a collective of vendors in New Zealand who have collaborated to create standards for equipment sales and eliquid manufacturing for self regulation. We are also advisors to the NZ Government in developing risk proportionate regulation of the industry – including assisting in formulating standards and manufacturing processes for vape products. Our main focuses are the responsible retailing of hardware as well as standardizing the manufacture of e-liquids.
