Don;t think so?????? seeing that nicotine has been proven to constrict arteries!!!!!!!!!How about the American Heart Association? Many smoker die of cardiovascular disease, possibly more than die of cancer. AHA has not to my knowledge spoken against e-cigs. If someone knows otherwise, let me know.
I for sure will make every conceivable effort to attend.

Concerning arterial constriction, that is transient. I'm searching to see if the effects of nicotine alone, not associated w/ tobacco, on the cardiovascular system is clincally significant. I don't know if that is even known.
Anyone have a suggestion as to a beneficiary for the event? I think it would be good PR to donate proceeds toward a worthy cause. It would certainly help align us with a known charity to attract more positive press.
How about the American Cancer Society or keep it inline with jj2's suggestion and some kind of cancer research for kids!
I second this, in fact he beat me to the post!

The AHA is not our friend:
Click here to read a joint statement from the American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids supporting Sen. Lautenberg’s call for removing e-cigarettes from the market.
I read the joint statement. The link above will not work, as the press release has been removed. If AHA has changed its mind about e-cigarettes, they are keeping it a big secret.
On the Gulf Coast are about 6 major military bases...donations could be made to the wounded warriors fund via contact with PR departments on each base. I believe there is a regional office as well. Once the PR people work their magic and mention CASAA in their Military newspapers an invite could be extended to active duty (Gaurd and Reserve) members. Lots of smokers could be introduced to this technology and have a great time as well.
Off the top of my head: Keesler AFB, Pensacola Naval station, Eglin AFB, Hurlburt AFB, etc...I could research this more if board members are interested.
The military loves great parties!
