ABOUT US
Lung Love Foundation was born in a hospital room. At 18, Chance Ammirata's lung collapsed from vaping. Instead of staying silent, he posted his story online—and tens of thousands of kids responded by sending videos of themselves quitting.

What started as one person's near-death experience became a global movement.

Since then, Chance has testified on Capitol Hill, helping pass the Tobacco 21 Act after 25 years of failed attempts. He's been featured on Netflix's Big Vape, CBS, CNN, and TIME Magazine. He's reached over 50,000 students with a message the industry doesn't want heard: you were targeted, you were lied to, and you can quit.

LETS NOT REPEAT HISTORY.
We are taught history in school in order to learn from the mistakes we made in the past , and avoid repeating them. It's now clear to me that history is so evidently being repeated.
Cigarettes were the Juul of our parents and grandparents generation. They became tremendously popular, people were able to smoke anywhere, and they were "cool" to have; it was a fad. Not until we learned about the horrible affects cigarettes actually had did people begin to stop, but it was much too late.
According to cdc.gov "Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 7 million deaths per year. If the pattern of smoking all over the globe doesn’t change, more than 8 million people a year will die from diseases related to tobacco use by 2030." Now cigarette usage is down tremendously , but Juul and other vape companies saw this as an opportunity to create a modern day cigarette that would appeal to the youth.
​​​According to The Tobacco Atlas, estimates of revenues from the global tobacco industry likely approach a half trillion U.S. dollars annually. With numbers like that it is obvious as to why Juul tried to recreate a horrible epidemic that has already ravaged humanity previously. Sleek designs, electronically charged, and to make sure they were able to hook us each pod contains 5 packs of cigarettes worth of nicotine.
