/EINPresswire.com/VeppoCig.com is offering their electronic cigarette trial kit to post traumatic stress disorder victims of the Aurora Shooting that are over 18 and smoke.
In the shadows of the recent Aurora, Colorado theater shootings, a Colorado based company is offering their electronic cigarette products to help victims combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to the shooting.
VeppoCig.com is offering electronic cigarettes to victims of the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting who currently smoke and are over 18. The offer comes in light of the fact that post traumatic stress disorder has a high correlation with smoking.
Individuals with PTSD show the highest rates of smoking. On average, approximately 45% of individuals with PTSD currently smoke. People who have experienced traumatic events, like the Aurora theatre shooting, are more likely to smoke than people who have not had traumatic experiences.
Research has shown that individuals with PTSD may smoke in an attempt to manage negative feelings of their PTSD symptoms. Post traumatic stress disorder patients tend to smoke more cigarettes, leading to a complicated health profile.
“Veppo discourages smoking initiation, but encourages and assists those who do smoke to find a suitable alternative,” stated Gina King, a representative for the company.
The detrimental health risks involved with smoking regular cigarettes is well known. Electronic cigarettes can be an alternative to inhaling thousands of chemicals and carcinogens present in regular cigarettes.
“Above all, we are a company that cares for the health of our customers. We understand that they are going through a difficult time and we want to help. We are reaching out to the victims in the Aurora shooting,” stated Ms. King.
Veppo is offering 50 E-cigarette Trial Kits at no charge to the victims over 18 of the Aurora theater shooting. They are asked to contact Veppo directly at 303-872-8188 and speak to a customer service ninja to claim their e-cigarette kit.
Veppo agrees with President Obama’s statement that “If there’s anything to take away from this tragedy, it’s a reminder that life is fragile. Our time here is limited and it is precious”. This is an example of how a community can pull together to help one another during a crisis.
