Leading UAE vape retailers say help is just around the corner for smokers struggling to quit the habit.

They believe the arrival of the Middle Easts first vape industry event in Dubai next month can accelerate the trend in the region for people to switch from smoking to alternatives to traditional cigarettes.

While studies show that millions of people worldwide have made the shift to vaping in recent years, the majority of people who try to give up tobacco fail.

According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US, fewer than one in ten adult cigarette smokers actually succeed in quitting each year.

The event, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 19-21, puts multi-billion market under microscope amid growing demand for alternatives to traditional tobacco

UAE retailers say the inaugural World Vape Show taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre from September19-21 can provide more smokers with the extra research data, advice and incentive they need to kick the tobacco habit.

Were proud to say that 87 percent of the people that come to us quit smoking within six months, said Mo Hassan, managing director of Dr Vapes in Dubai.

But theres still a lot of conflicting reports out there on how efficient vaping is in helping people to quit smoking, and this can be confusing for smokers and also the vaping community itself.

The World Vape Show is an important event that, for the first time, will provide consumers with all the information they need to make their choice.

The combined exhibition and conference is assembling more than 30 expert speakers, more than 200 exhibitors showcasing thousands of global vape brands, several thousand industry professionals, vape enthusiasts and those looking to switch from cigarettes.

Tarek Ali Daakour, owner of Vape House retail shops in Dubai, quit smoking for vaping himself and says between 80-90 percent of his customers successfully give up the tobacco habit.

A lot of people want to give up smoking, but dont know how, he said. This is why the exhibition is so important. It will answer so many questions for those who need help to quit the smoking habit.

Another retailer, Lets Vape, reports a similar trend in smokers looking to kick the habit and warns against the presence of counterfeit products in the market. As per feedback from our customers, more than 90 percent are turning to vaping in order to quit smoking, said sales manager Shodibek Kayumov.

We believe the show is very important to raise the awareness of vaping as better solution for smokers. Its important that people educate themselves on how to differentiate between original and counterfeit products because of the possible side effects.

The event conference features a number of panel discussions on key issues facing the industry, including one session on the future of vaping research and public health.

The first World Vape Show in Dubai is open to both business buyers and the general public, but you must be over 21 to attend and get tickets online in advance. For further information: http://www.worldvapeshow.com

LONDON British American Tobaccos (BAT) science chief, David OReilly, has urged the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) to reinstate the involvement of tobacco industry scientists to attend the groups annual conference in 2022.

BATs scientists have been proud to share their research at the SRNT Annual Meetings for many years, he told SRNT leadership. Our participation has helped advance tobacco and nicotine science to the benefit of the society, and ultimately, the public good.

SRNT, however, has barred researchers with ties to the tobacco industry from presenting peer-reviewed research related to tobacco products and the development of risk-reduced products like electronic cigarettes and tobacco-free oral nicotine products.

We share in SRNTs stated commitments to the open dissemination of rigorous, peer-reviewed nicotine and tobacco science, with the ultimate goal of reducing public health impact of tobacco use, OReilly said, via a letter. Recent exclusion of employees of the tobacco industry and the contributions of tobacco industry scientists to dialogue at the Annual Meeting is contrary to your Code of Conduct and Guiding Principles.

OReilly described that the purpose of the society is to promote inclusion and openness from all stakeholders dealing with tobacco and nicotine science. However, the societys exclusion of tobacco industry scientists impedes the generation and dissemination of new knowledge concerning nicotine and tobacco. The letter BAT sent to the society adds that in an FDA-regulated market, the industry must routinely provide FDA regulators with scientific evidence about its products. As a result, some of the best science in the tobacco and nicotine space is being generated from tobacco companies.

OReilly added that BAT is aligned with the SRNT Code of Conduct, and our employees that participate in SRNT conferences have always abided by SRNT rules.
