New Film: A Billion Lives- Smoking is good business, vapor products are clearly disrupting profits

[poohbah]

New Film
"Smoking is a business, and vaping is interrupting many aspects of "business" worldwide."

• vaping is disrupting tax revenue from cigarette sales lost to vaping.
• Vaping is causing a drop in pharmaceutical sales of less effective nicotine replacement products and drugs designed to treat the diseases caused by smoking.
• Vaping is disrupting funding to government "sponsored" quit smoking associations and organizations.

Do you think this movie will help to change/moderate the strict FDA regulations on vaping industry?

 

[sonicbomb]

^ That's funny.

 

[oplholik]

Unfortunately, I don't think so. The govt's, and antz will continue on their present paths.

 

[KrausAldo]

Actually, movies could influence minds!

 

[puffon]

The problem I see with the movie, is a non-vaper will not pay to see it.

 

[KrausAldo]

This is a documentary movie and it is financed by voluntary donations. I don't think the audience will have to pay to watch it.

Additionally Phil Busardo posted 1/2/16 that this will be at the next Cannes FF

Not at all likely, but positive things over a long period of time can't hurt.

Any exposure this movie can get will be in the best interest of the industry. Even if it makes it to PBS, exposure is exposure.

Just to make it clear, this is a different documentary. Might be good.

Social media is the movie(s) only shot the gov controlled media will never allow it to become mainstream. Too much money and power pushing the Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em mantra. Their tactics have been in place and have already poisoned the waterhole.
The elections are our best short term hope. Throw The Bums OUT!!!

Aaron Biebert (director) was on Plumes last week and he said they are getting interest from some theater chains and possibly something big on the west coast.

Aaron asked that everyone subcribe and spread the word. The more people that hear about it and we promote it the more traction the film will get which will help us all.

I posted it on a outdoor website and it got hundreds of hits so now I post it wherever I think it won't get deleted. We can help by simply getting it out there and it doesn't really take a lot of effort.

I look at it this way, if they can get it into theaters and word spreads the government might just be screwed. That alone is enough motivation for me.

I hope this gets screened in Canada

The truth hurts.

Taxes don't hurt our government though, the show must go on..

puffon, you do know that Aaron the creator, director and guy pounding the pavement to get traction for this film does not smoke or vape, never has but is tired of the lies. Others in the same position may be interested in hearing what he has to say about government corruption.

Yeah, I was getting confused, as this seems to be Vape Waves.
(whatever that is)

Not A Billion Lives.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The more the merrier.

Or am I totally confused now?
