The group wants nicotine vaping to be legalised in Australia as a quit smoking aid.
They say because the action of vaping mimics smoking, as well as providing a nicotine hit, it's more effective than traditional nicotine patches or gum.
The legality of vaping in Australia is a little confusing.
Vaping is legal, but restricted in much the same way smoking is. The nicotine solutions used in a vape, however, are restricted, although they may be purchased online from overseas outlets, if the purchaser has a prescription.
"Nicotine is the chemical that smokers are addicted to," said campaign director Brian Marlow.
"There's 2.8 million smokers in Australia, we have the worlds most expensive cigarettes, we have plain packaging with advertisements telling people it's going to kill them, and they're not quitting.
"We want the federal government to accept the evidence that shows vaping is safer than smoking and helps people quit."
Mr Marlow said he got involved because of his mum.
"My mum smokes," he said.
"She's in her 70's, she's been smoking since she was 14 years old. She's tried every other method to quit and couldn't, went through cancer treatment, and was still smoking.
"The only thing that got her to stop was vaping.
"But as soon as she runs out, she can't go down to the local shop, she has to buy it online. If it doesn't arrive, she's back down at the tobacconist."
Campaigner Katarina Pekovic said she was a pack-a-day smoker for three years before she started vaping.
"I found something that something that wasn't going to harm me, and I haven't touched a cigarette in about a year," she said.
"It makes it easier in social situations, if you're in a smoking area, you have a vape instead."
The jury is still out on concerns that legalising nicotine vaping will lead to more young people picking up the habit.
Mr Marlow said appropriate regulations of the sale and consumption of nicotine vapes - the same as are applied to cigarettes - could reduce that likelihood.
