Vaping on Trial: Brazil, India, and the Global Battle for Harm Reduction | Vaping Unplugged Podcast with Alexandro “Hazard” Lucian and Samrat Chowdhery Ep. 66

In this episode of Vaping Unplugged, we are unfolding story of vaping in Brazil with Alexandro "Hazard" Lucian, a committed harm reduction advocate who knows firsthand the transformative potential of vaping. Hazard takes us through his journey from a three-pack-a-day smoker to a vocal champion for vaping, highlighting both his personal gains and the broader implications of vaping as a harm reduction tool in Brazil. His powerful narrative brings to life the very real struggles of consumers facing increasing restrictions in a country resistant to vaping's potential.

Joining us is Samrat Chowdhery, an esteemed journalist and harm reduction advocate from India, who brings a unique perspective on the parallels between Brazil's and India's vaping scenes. With similar barriers and a shared fight for policy reform, Samrat draws out the striking commonalities in the vaping debates across these two countries and the persistent challenges faced by advocates and consumers alike.

Moderated by Liza Katsiashvili, operations director of the World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA).
