Παιδιά από ένα ψάξιμο γρήγορο που έκανα στο ecf βρήκα την αντίστοιχη ένωση στις USA που λέγεται CASAA - Consumer Advocates for Smokeless Alternatives Association.
Παραθέτω ένα μικρό τμήμα που βρήκα πρόχειρο και ήταν τότε υπό διαμόρφωση ακόμα

Να κάνω και μια πρόταση: Τι θα λέγατε να γινόταν το αντίστοιχο CASAA-Greece; Υποθέτω είναι εύκολο να έρθουμε σε επαφή με τα ιδρυτικά μέλη και να ζητήσουμε περισσότερες πληροφορίες. Η CASAA υπάρχει από το 2009 οπότε σίγουρα έχει παραπάνω πείρα θεωρώ σε αρκετά πράγματα
