About Steampuff Vapors LLC

Each of us smoked for many years but failed at quitting through countless attempts following our doctors advice at using NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy), cold-turkey, hypnosis, and many other alternative methods. None of us expected personal vaporizers (electronic cigarettes) to work but for each of us, it did with incredible results.

What is Tobacco Harm Reduction?Tobacco Harm Reduction is a complimentary approach seeking to prevent or reduce the overall harm caused by smoking tobacco products. We base our approach on the recognition that many people throughout the state continue to smoke tobacco despite the strongest efforts by our health agencies to prevent the continued use smoked tobacco products. Tobacco Harm Reduction takes a unique approach at educating the public and users of smoked tobacco on ‘Switch and Quit’ methods of using reduced harm tobacco products. Keeping people who use smoked tobacco healthy and alive while preventing irreparable damage caused by smoking is regarded as our most urgent priority.

Why Tobacco Harm Reduction?Abstinence is nearly impossible to achieve using traditional methods and fails 7 out of 10 times, therefore access to reduced harm tobacco products is critically important to smokers who may be unable or are unwilling to quit. There is a dire need in Kentucky to provide our residents who smoke effective and real options to help minimize risks from continued use of smoked tobacco products. It is therefore essential that our government and public health agencies embrace reduced harm tobacco products and provide education, services and other intervention options to help keep our Kentucky public healthy and safe. Allowing our residents to suffer or die from preventable causes is no longer an option. Only by embracing all aspects of THR will we see a dramatically improved quality of life for all Kentucky smokers, their families and friends.

Principles of THROur approach to Tobacco Harm Reduction is based on a strong commitment to public health and basic human rights. Tobacco Harm Reduction refers to policies and practices that target the reduction of adverse health and social consequences of the legal use of tobacco. Tobacco Harm Reduction benefits all current users of tobacco products including their families, friends and the wider Kentucky community.

Dignity and RightsThe KSFA is nonjudgmental and will fight for the rights of all Kentucky residents and vapor shops wishing to reduce the harms resulting from smoked tobacco usage. Users of smoked tobacco are someone’s mother, father, brother or sister, friend or coworker. These users do not give up their basic human rights simply because they have chosen to smoke.  Ignoring science and technology due to opposing morals and beliefs deliberately inflicts harm on people who smoke tobacco products. This approach creates and exacerbates risk and harm for the users.
