LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

I can’t believe I’m writing another one of these letters already…I feel like it was just yesterday that I was putting the final touches on the previous issue of the magazine.

Since then we’ve enjoyed the festivities of the holidays, had one-too-many drinks in honour of the new year and endured the blistering winter weather as we waited for the first glimpse of the spring sun.

But while many of us have enjoyed an end of the year break, the ever-growing vape industry never even showed a hint of slowing down.

A fact reflected by the content in this edition of Vapouround.

In this issue, we tell the story of an American student who was allegedly forced to remove her clothes – including her bra – as school staff searched her for a hidden vape.

To learn more on this, check out our story ‘A violation of civil rights’ in the news section.

We also looked at the latest ‘popcorn lung’ scare story being peddled online, highlighting the scepticism and outrage of industry advocates who asked... …‘how can you get popcorn lung from a product that doesn’t cause it?’.

For details on this hot topic situation, read our story ‘Same horror story, different day’ later in the magazine. What surprised me the most when putting this edition together was just how ingrained in the public consciousness and current culture vaping has become.

This rings so true, that this issue is one of the most star-studded we’ve ever produced.

Just some of the famous faces to feature in this magazine are world class footballer Lionel Messi, pop sensation Doja Cat, veteran actor Jamie Lee Curtis and self-help superstar Dr Phil. But that’s enough from me. I don’t want to keep you from flipping through the pages of Vapouround and getting a taste of what’s going on in the industry. So go forth, enjoy and take in this collection of headline-grabbing stories and engaging features.

Thank you and happy reading.
