Hello; I did it on other.Then for the subject on the e-mail, I filled out Bill SB400,then I filled in the rest of the e-mail
E-mail sent.
If Cali passes this ban I do believe it's time to revolt against a harmful government. I believe you should give the e-cig businesses time to regulate themselves first and if they are not able to, let the FDA make regulations because the FDA don't have any idea what they are doing. I can hear it now... The Government just bailed out the tobacco company because they are too big to fail... Yeah, Cali will ban e-cigs or tax the living crap out of it.

Section 109925. This section shall not be construed as bearing on or
being relevant to the question of whether any other product is a drug

Good job posting that info. Now I guess we all have to wait, so we can hear how that phone call goes.
you are either very very new or a troll. you do realize that the fda is in the process of doing the exact same thing nationally? by the end of this week it may become illegal to import and sell e-cigs and e-juice, pending resolution of the SE vs FDA court case (which again should come this week).
As far as the bleeding heart liberals go... they tend to favor personal freedoms more than extreme conservatives. That's kinda the difference between liberals and conservatives (high personal freedom and lower capitalist freedom vs lower personal freedom and high capitalist freedom).
I think the "bleeding heart liberals" are the ones we have to beg to make this problem go away
You can't be serious. Lefties support more government control, oversight, manipulation and intervention in/around your personal life. Righties believe that the government should have as little control as possible over the lives of the governed.
I sent a pretty detailed email yesterday explaining how he will be condemning many Californians to an early death by cancer if he lets this bill through 
Hope that got his attention
I hope EVERYONE in this Forum is sending an E-mail.... We need a lot of support!!!
Off topic....
I was Vaping at Knotts Berry Farm last night, well actually last night was Knotts Scary Farm.. But as i was saying, i was stealth vaping before getting on a ride and the ride attendent yelled over the speaker "NO SMOKING ON THE PLATFORM" and i quickly explained what it was. She smiled and told me to continue No one there complained one bit seeing as how there were about 500 Fog Machines pumping out PG into the air anyways HA HA

@Þornbjörg : I suggest that you do NOT encourage people to state that the FDA is doing this at the request of Big Tobacco.
Whether or not this IS the case is up to debate. However this DOES make the writer sound a little tinfoil hat, if you ask me.
I would suggest that those that DO choose to write (you all should be) simply tell their stories of how this product has HELPED them quit traditional tobacco cigarettes.
Also suggesting that the FDA should continue their studies of the product as an alternative to traditional cigarettes and not as cessation tool can only help our cause. This is NOT a contradiction to the statements you have made above in the letter, as ANY product can be used as a cessation tool. It is just not allowed to marketed as one with out approval and over-site.
