Ohio Vapor Trade Association
Advocating for common sense vapor policy in Ohio since 2014.
The Ohio Vapor Trade Association (OHVTA) is a non-profit trade association supporting the vapor industry in Ohio. We are dedicated to representing and advocating for the interests of the small business "mom & pop" vapor industry in our state.
Often, unfortunately, very well funded groups (from outside Ohio) use misinformation and out dated information from 2019, to fool law makers into creating bad policy. This occurs at the local and state level. We do our best to combat this misinformation with factual data and by sharing our members’ stories of success.
Our mission is to foster a thriving business environment by providing essential resources, education, legislative affairs, and support to our members. As a member of the Ohio Vapor Trade Association, you gain access to a network of industry professionals, valuable insights, and legal / regulatory updates. We work tirelessly to protect and promote the vapor industry, ensuring fair legislation and regulations that benefit both businesses and consumers. Join us today and be part of a united front that drives growth and innovation in Ohio's vapor trade.
By becoming a member, you can help to fight the good fight! The fight to ensure that your business, and the countless adults that you have helped stop smoking by vaping, continue to have access to vaping products!
OHVTA Focus Areas
Advocacy
Our members are small business "mom & pop" shops. We stand together with you against our very well funded adversaries.
They might have hundreds of millions of dollars from out of state billionaires, but we have success stories. We actually help people stop smoking! We wont stop until adults, who choose to switch from cigarettes to vapor products, have complete access to the products they choose.
Legislative Affairs
We interact with Ohio Senate and House members to make sure our legislators have up to date information. Too often, misinformation and out of date and skewed data is presented to law makers to intentionally confuse the issue.
Additionally, we interact with executive agencies, like the Ohio Department of Taxation, to maintain a professional working relationship.
Protecting Adult Consumers
Adult consumers of vapor products are often forgotten about.
19% of adult Ohioians smoke cigarettes. Only 6% vape. In the interest of public health, we need to decrease adult smoking and increase adult vaping.
Of course, neither smoking nor vaping is the best option. But, while cigarettes still are available to all adults, a safer alternative must remain available.
We will never stop fighting for adult access to ALL vapor products.
