We dream of cohesion, grounded on nicotine enjoyment. We aspire unity, regardless of consumers’ preference. We act as ONE, preserving the values that bond us together as a whole.
Our reason for being
We exist to safeguard the rights and interests of nearly 20 million Filipino nicotine consumers. We stand to uphold liberal expression and freedom of choice, especially, over how we should personally enjoy nicotine. We communicate to deliver our cause and to empower consumers with reliable information, which they could use to make up their own informed decisions.

Call for Membership
This is an urgent call for us to gather strength in numbers. The truth about nicotine is under siege. If we don’t act, we stand to lose a lot.
Undisputedly, we are the best representatives of our interests, not the opponents of tobacco or policymakers who neither smoke or vape. Now, if we’ll just let them regulate us (on the basis of misinformation or mere lack of contextual perspective), we ought to be giving away, without much contest, the satisfaction and convenience we truthfully enjoy.
To preserve what we could have, we need your voice, your individual participation. We need to unite and put forward our reason. Please contact us how you can become a member.
