Just got an email - an FDA workshop indicated that "Second hand vapor" is a non-issue. Bystanders had biomarkers 5000 times less than those of actual vapers. Also, "People who solely use vapor products show NONE of the biomarkers associated with tobacco or tobacco related diseases, in a study done by one of the presenters, aside from nicotine."

KEEP THE PETITION ROLLING!!!!!!

I read your updates every time I receive them. I have also signed another petition. It was for dude with a wife and some alhzheimers drug. Having a relative in the last stage taking a bazillion drugs a day, I related.

Thanks, I thought about waiting for the official 26k, but wanted to include the bit about the FDA workshop while it was still fresh in my mind.

If you get a chance, watch it. The afternoon session relates to vapor products and the last two speakers in particular are definitely worth watching, as well as the panel.

390-year old white pine bonsai tree.

Fascinating! Made me curious and I looked it up.

This tree has been trained into a Bonsai for almost 400 years, the result of 6 generations of hard work and patience by the Yamaki family. But what makes it really special is that it was in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb fell in 1945; the tree survived and was later donated to the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum in Washington (Image courtesy also by the museum).

Guess I should have checked my email today. :facepalm:

Looks like we owe a debt of gratitude to VAPE Magazine. Read Jacob Barger’s comment here Petition Update · Great news, from an unexpected source · Change.org Thank you Jacob and VAPE Magazine! :D


Etna – that is very cool and I know why DC2 wants to live in a treehouse. :rolleyes:

Maybe we can rent advertizing on the side of the second flight landing in this video for more widespread visibility for the petition?



Sleep well Mattiem! Look forward to the morning update. :)

Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I forgot there was a space for comments on my updates and I never get any kind of notifications, though I did see some and was reading through them this morning.

We are definitely reaching more of the community than I have direct access to, which is fantastic. I can only imagine what the numbers will be like once we get some of the more "official" entities behind us.
