Default What can we do to stop the ban?

With Oregon, Washington and Cali going all low carbon emission crazy right now a comparitive study of the CO2 emissions of a cigarette compared to vape stik would be a great idea.

It would make a great thesis for a college paper.

Anyone know someone in college looking for a project?

Or, they could do a thesis paper on the connection between nicotine and its effect on the brain. Early studies suggest that nicotine has a beneficial effect on dopamine levels in the brain helping people with Parkinson's as well as those with Altzheimers.

There is also anecdotal evidence that nicotine helps with creativity, cognition, contemplation and intuition.

Everyone always likes to hang out with the smokers when you are talking deep philosophical stuff!

And while letters are going to congresspeoples why not a bunch of letters to the movie people, writers, directors and actors?

Another power base that appears to be ignored. A bunch of them are closet smokers. They want to look environmentally conscious. Get them on the wagon that vapor stiks are CO2 friendly, the "green" way to go PLUS they are the healthy way to go, PLUS they are the friendly way to go. No offensive secondhand smoke, no noxious smell.

Anyone know any script writers?

That would be a good college paper... So the cumulative effects of a nation smoking is like a huge forest fire all year long? That might open some eyes!

As long as the paper is showing that the answer is vaping, right before their eyes!

Well, my doc (blood pressure) here thinks this is a great thing (my bp went down 15-20 points in a week and I am 37, ok?). The guy who took my blood is getting one. Simple, effective. Be out in the open, if you know someone and would let them try your drink, let them try your vape! I dose pretty heavy on the nic (mixing my own for going out at 36-38 mg) so they FEEL it.

I am happy to help with writing letters. I don't know anyone famous but can try to find address through digging around on the web.

My dr is so supportive of my vaping. He actually changed my medical records to show I am now a non smoker. Of course he waited until after I passed the 6 moth mark. LOL.

I am happy to try a stab at a fact sheet if someone can point me in the direction or provide me links to where I can get the data. I could do a pro/con on the various points of analog vs e-cig. It's been a long time since I have been in college. Not sure I could put together a paper, but I think a fact sheet would be helpful...thoughts?
