Thank you!! Done and done! CASSA's letter is awesome...I feel like tarring and feathering someone...:glare:

I always go off the deep end a little bit. I did for the second call to action as well. I really want them to conduct a massive study, either on health effects or usage patterns, the added benefit is that will take a few years. At least by then they will create legislation based on something. I usually try to put in a blurb about my Military Service as well. I dunno.



"I am concerned that you are creating regulations without doing a single study, only relying on other peoples papers.

Why haven't the CDC and FDA conducted a massive study? Both about the health effects of electronic cigarettes as well as usage patterns. The damn government will fund a 3 million dollar study about the reproductive habits of Brazilian Fruit Eating Bats, which doesn't effect any human, but not fund a study on electronic cigarettes? Yes, lets give more money so we can understand the mating rituals of whales and other animals that live UNDERWATER, that doesn't effect anyone, but then create legislation about a common personal product that uses studies conducted by people that don't even know how to use them. That's government for you.

At least I'm doing my part. I've saved the Army quite a bit of money, I got one AAM for saving $500,000 of equipment in Iraq. Have fun wasting it on studies about bat poop, and not something that actually effects people.

What you are doing is ridiculous."

Done and done. Thank you for posting this. Here is an addendum that I have shared on Facebook - it's very important that we appeal to our friends and family to get on this one...

It is absolutely critical that you appeal to your friends and family members to submit a petition on your behalf - we can exponentially increase the number of responses if our friends and family participate! The request is simple:

"vaping has changed my life! If you have witnessed or can otherwise testify to positive changes in my life, I respectfully request you to visit the following website and tell MY story from YOUR perspective!"

Well said Kevin!! Those of you who do not know me do not know that I am a former geophysicist and how rabid I get over bad science...most of what the FDA and the CDC is using as definitive proof is very, VERY bad science that would receive an F in a high school chemistry class.

BAD SCIENCE MAKES ME YELLY!!!!!!

Done!
Seems NH's Senators and Congressional reps are getting a bit more "social" (ie., easier to personally approach) lately --- lots of public appearances/pressing-the-flesh.....I'm going to be making the effort to attend a few of these "sessions" and perhaps bend their ears just a tad, mentioning CASAA and what they're trying to accomplish....
Happy (vaping) Trails!

Done. And thank you so very, very much for putting this together so we could respond so easily! These are the words I added:


The burden on society to cover the extra health costs of cigarette smokers is great. For those e-cigarette users that would buy products on the black market the health costs could potentially be greater as there could be any manner of toxins put into these liquids that would no longer be created in a safe and clean environment by known individuals.

I cannot express in words how much my health has improved since I began to use e-cigarettes. I no longer have multiple episodes of pneumonia and bronchitis each year. I have returned to being active as I am no longer struggling for breath. I have greater incentive to choose foods that further improve my health. My doctor can attest to the incredible improvement in my health in all aspects. I tried many other methods to stop smoking without success. E-cigarettes have saved my life!
