    How will this affect me? Should I just start chewing and smoking again?

    Utah Vapers - sorry for the delay in an update but it’s been a crazy busy 2 days dealing with 2 separate bills and trying to meet up with as many on the hill as I could possibly get in with. As you probably already know both bills passed their respective committees and the next step is to be...

    Utah bill (HB 112) by Paul Ray would ban the manufacture and sale of all e-cigs that don’t contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine, require license to m

    I totally didn't 2Coils so if I came across that way I apologize - when I said 'you' I wasn't talking about you specifically...just in general terms for all readers. The last 36 hours have been beyond hell for me both in the activism and day job so some of that frustration may have come out. I...

    Utah bill (HB 112) by Paul Ray would ban the manufacture and sale of all e-cigs that don’t contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine, require license to m

    I see no issue with the requirement of using proper grades of PG, VG and flavorings again much like what is already required in the food manufacturing, pharma and supplement industries. I would ONLY support flavoring restrictions should there be some data showing a health risk of using a...

    I wasn't going to respond directly on this but the more I thought about it, I'll admit the more it irritated me. I'll apologize to all in advance for the rant... Yes AEMSA is voluntary but does that make the standards any less important or necessary? AEMSA members are also recognized...

    Look everyone - I work professionally in a role of standards and regulations. Standards and regulations are in place to protect the safety of people and in my job, they save lives. E-liquid is a consumable product and as such, there must be a level of standards in place to protect the...

    Utah bill (HB 112) by Paul Ray would ban the manufacture and sale of all e-cigs that don’t contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine, require license to m

    The hopes are that the nicotine requirements will align exactly with what AEMSA requires. I've been consulting with them and have provided Ray with what their requirements are in that regard. This will apply specifically to retail sales only and that was part of the discussion I had with...

    Utah bill (HB 112) by Paul Ray would ban the manufacture and sale of all e-cigs that don’t contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine, require license to m

    The bill is going back for numerous revisions as an output from my meeting with the bill sponsor on Monday afternoon. I can tell you that USP grade nicotine (not pharmaceutical) IS remaining in the bill and IS supported by the statewide industry. USP grade Nicotine is considered best practice...

    I'll have an update published on this late today or tomorrow but it's not as much gloom and doom as you indicate. I met with Ray on HB112 this today and there is lots happening behind the scenes that is not yet public. As soon as I get things sorted out on my end I'll provide an update in the...

    Meanwhile in Utah

    It really was an awesome time and was glad to see everyone able to enjoy themselves in and out of the bar. This likely will become more common in Utah as the law gets enforced more and more unfortunately.

    Utah all Vapers of the united states will not be bullied!

    Folks this is not over. This is being appealed following normal processes as the city's proposal is unacceptable due to them requiring the shops to operate without a business license putting them at higher risk. We have the attorney addressing this very seriously and the shops are fighting...

    Thanks Lisa for posting this - I've been too busy to hit every social media platform out there. We really do need everyone to help out in some way. We WANT their email system to crash due to the large number of emails. We WANT their switchboard operator to want to know why she's getting...

    Utah - a novel approach

    Hey everyone. Sorry for not participating on ECF but I’ve been quite busy locally due to the constant barrage of attempted legislation, highly negative press, blatant attacks by health departments and even highly visible public billboards telling people that ecigs are dangerous and to be...

    URGENT! Utah bill to tax e-cigarettes at 86% and ban online sales -- HB 372

    For those that were talking about this, there was a large delegation of vapers - probably 40-50 of us there. In fact, when asked who was there to support the bill, only the sponsors invitees (two) raised their hands. When asked who was there to speak against it, close to half the room. Utah...

    Thanks everyone for your support, phone calls and emails on this bill. It's a total piece of crap and we in Utah are of course fighting it hard. 36 hours ago, HB372 was presented to the house health and human services committee. This bill does the following in it's current state: -Redfines...
