Spike Babaian is the Swiss Army Knife of vaping. She is a fierce advocate for tobacco harm reduction, a vape business owner who has helped hundreds if not thousands of smokers to quit, a published researcher, an educator and an activist against flavor bans.
She’s also a former smoker. Over a decade ago, Babaian switched to vaping and it transformed her life.
One immediate benefit was an improvement in her health. She now rarely needs to use her asthma inhaler.
Founding Vape NY with her partner was a way for Babaian to help other smokers quit. She ended up opening four shops in total, one in Brooklyn and three in Manhattan. For years, business was good.
