    NY State Ban Bill

    That is true MoonRose. But since we are really trying to get people to send snail mail or faxes instead of emails, or to actually make phone calls, I can't say this is all bad. We did provide the bulk email lists for people who only want to email, but the effectiveness of that is so up in...

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    And furthermore, everyone keeps ignoring the language of the bill, as quoted above, that specifically refers to the NEW YORK STATE defintion of "tobacco product" (I have posted about this before). Products "THAT ARE NOT TOBACCO PRODUCTS, AS DEFINED IN SECTION THIRTEEN HUNDRED NINETY-NINE-AA...

    NY State Ban Bill

    Bill and all, I have a PDF with such contact info for all 150 Assembly members, and am preparing to post both here and on CASAA. The only caveat is that it does not reflect changes since last November's elections. Nonetheless, for the majority of the Assembly, it will be a great start, unless...

    Who Quit? Need a count

    Quit? If you mean switched completely - YES! How long smoke free? Two years and two months, since Nov. 08 (but vaped off and on, without being smoke free, for eleven months before that). How long you smoked prior? 44 years, close to 2 packs a day, with numerous quit attempts interspersed...

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    There is one major problem with your analysis Zen. Our opponents are the ones who conflate, confuse, and just plain don't understand the difference between smoking cessation and nicotine cessation. We DO understand it. THEY believe smoking cessation and nicotine cessation are one and the same...

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    Shane, even if the committee favorably reported on this bill - the bill did NOT "pass". As my original post in this very thread explained (and markfm above too), a favorable vote in this committee is only the first step. The bill now must go to the Assembly floor for a vote by the full Assembly...

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    Think about it for a minute Sassy. While I agree with you wholeheartedly that vaping is of course way more preferable for many, and I'm one of the many, current pharma NRTs do deliver too little nicotine for some. The 21 mg patch, for example, delivers that dosage over 24 hours - thus a really...

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    CRITICAL Update (I can no longer edit original post): We discovered when calling today that the list of Health Committee members on the Assembly website has NOT been updated since the recent elections. There are four additional members to contact (and Castelli, at least, is no longer on the...

    CASAA meeting THIS Sunday January 23rd at 730PM EST - Please consider attending ???

    Mauzey, I'm not at the meeting, so thought I'd respond. Skype apparently allows ony 25 callers in a conference call. So we are hopefully moving to a different platform by next week, that will still work as well but not be so limited in number of participants.

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    I have to say I think you are wrong ACM. We may have no chance of actually stopping or amending this current bill in the Assembly (to only ban sales to minors), but nonetheless we must let them know how vigorously opposed it's Section 2 is. More importantly, I believe we DO have a realistic...

    Nearing disaster in New York - please take action NOW to prevent e-cigarette ban.

    That's why I keep emphasizing in the main thread about this legislation, linked to above, that we need people to CALL the Assembly Health Committee members all day on Monday and Tuesday morning before the noon meeting, and to stretch to send faxes instead of emails if at all possible.

    Thanks for passing this on ahardrain! But would you consider including a link, perhaps to the first page of this thread, so people can see who to send their letter to, or who to call? If I missed it on your blog, I apologize, but I didn't see such info there.
