The New Nicotine Alliance Ireland (Charity number 20204637) is committed to defending the Irish vaping community and educating vapers and non vapers alike.
NNA, Ireland is comprised of ex-smokers, most of whom have succeeded in giving up smoking through the use of alternative nicotine products, e-cigarettes.
We wish to see a mature public and organisational understanding of the potential of safer nicotine products for reducing cigarette smoking. This means engaging with and informing a wide range of individuals and audiences – from the general public to health bodies through to regulatory bodies. While we engage with regulatory bodies, we are a non political organisation and have no connection with any industry. We are not here in support of any political party or organisation.
Mostly it is about the consumer and their families.
Tá An Comhaontas Nua Nicitín Éireann (Uimhir charthanachta 202046937) tiomanta do chosaint an phobail ghaltoitín in Éirinn agus chun oideachas a thabhairt do chách faoin ábhar.
Is iar-chaiteoirí tobaic iad baill an Chomhaontais, agus is trí úsáid tairgí malartacha mar ghaltoitín a d’éirigh leo an briseadh le toitíní a bhaint amach.
Tá sé mar aidhm againn go mbeadh tuiscint iomlán ag an bpobal agus ag eagraíochtaí ar an gcumas atá i dtáirgí nicitín atá níos sabháílte le caitheamh tabac a laghdú. Ciallaíonn sé sin plé a dhéanamh le agus eolas a thabhairt do réímse mór daoine agus lucht spéise – an pobal i gcoitinne, boird sláinte, agus údaráis rialála ina measc. Cé go mbimid i dteagmháíl le húdaráis rialála, is eagraíocht neamhpholaitiúil muid, agus níl aon bhaint againn le aon tionscal. Ní thugaimid tacaíocht d’aon pháirtí polaitíochta nó éagraíocht pholaitiúil.

Táimíd dírithe ar an tomhaltóir agus a teaghlach don chuid is mó.
