FYI
decide Vaping is a logical option for
nicotine intake. However, vapers also
include those who use 0mg nicotine so
the intake of this particular substance
doesn't matter nearly as much as what
Vaping does for ordinary individuals.
Nicotine or no nicotine, Vapers will
continue to Vape, exhaling animated
clouds of harmless vapour.
Vaping is an artform just as much as
anything else in the artistic genre all
due to the fact that Vaping is another
type of human expression, in which this
claim raises other significant questions,
such as what does Vaping represent?
This is another broad question, yet will
play a pivotal role in which my short
film will attempt to answer “Who are the
Vapers” concisely. When quitting the
act of smoking is the end goal, many
would certainly suggest that Vaping is
undeniably a harm reduction method.
However, among our wider society,
Vaping has developed into something
far more controversial than necessary.
That's why I mentioned that the overall
focus will not be politically driven. Those
who are interviewed might just so
happen to touch on the subjects related
to the political portion of the anti-Vaping
saga, even though I'm not including any
questions that are a reflection of any
political agenda. Not to mention, I'm
planning to interview Vape Shop Staff
Members & the Ownership as well as
randomly selected customers willing to
“ M Y H Y P O T H E S I S I S T H AT M O S T VA P E R S

share their stories.
Altogether, my hypothesis is that
most vapers being interviewed will
undoubtedly talk a lot about why and
how Vaping is better tasting, much safer
and also less expensive than smoking
traditional cigarettes. But what is more
important is that I believe during these
interviews vapers will, without a doubt,
have a compelling emotionally-charged
big story as to how and why they became
a vaper. The keywords are compelling
and emotionally charged because
often times when I speak with doing
some choose to VAPE, their stories are
riveting and full of redemption. Therefore,
my hypothesis to this social research
project, via ethnographic documentary
filmmaking, is that we will very easily
create much more empathy among the
general public for those who belong to
the Vaping community. Social approval is
necessary feature for our Vaping cause
and mission to maintain its autonomy.
