OHVTA is an Ohio based nonprofit trade association. Our organization is dedicated to creating sensible and a responsible electroniccigarette market by providing the media, legislative bodies and retail stores with education, communication and research.
WHO IS OHVTA?
The Ohio Vapor Trade Association (OHVTA) was formed in 2014 by like-minded Ohio business owners. As an advocacy group, OHVTA isn’t just for businesses; we also have a strong consumer presence in protecting the ability of Ohio based consumers of e-vapor products to continue to by those products in Ohio, from Ohio based business.
It is important to realize that e-vapor products play an important role in Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR). Our approach to Tobacco Harm Reduction is based on a strong commitment to public health and basic human rights. Tobacco Harm Reduction refers to policies and practices that target the reduction of adverse health and social consequences of the legal use of tobacco. Tobacco Harm Reduction benefits all current users of tobacco products including their families, friends and the wider Ohio community.
