ATTENTION ALL VAPERS!! NEW YORK needs your HELP!!


We need to POUND the NY Senate with emails and phone calls ESPECIALLY Sen. HANNON so we can save lives and stop this bill from being passed..

Sen Hannon is in bed with the tobacco Companies from what I heard from a friend that lives in New York..


Introduced by Sen. HANNON
BILL NUMBER:S7635

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to prohibiting the sale of
electronic cigarettes


PURPOSE:

To prohibit the sale or offering for sale of electronic cigarettes.


SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends Public Health Law § 1399-aa to define an electronic
cigarette as a battery operated device that contains cartridges filled
with a combination of nicotine, flavor and chemicals that are turned
into vapor which is inhaled by the user.


Section two adds a section § 1399-11-2 to prohibit the sale or
offering for sale any electronic cigarette.


Section three provides that the act shall take effect on the first of
January succeeding its enactment.


JUSTIFICATION:= BS
Electronic cigarettes are products designed to deliver nicotine and
other substance to a use in the form of a vapor. They are typically
composed of a rechargeable, battery-operated heating element, a
replaceable cartridge that may contain nicotine or other chemicals,
and an atomizer that, when heated, converts the contents of the
cartridge into vapor.

In 2009, the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a press
release warning individuals about the safety of electronic
cigarettes. Their laboratory analysis revealed that some electronic
cigarettes contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals such as diethylene
glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans. In
February 2012, a 57 year old man reportedly suffered severe injuries
when an electronic cigarette exploded in his mouth.

C'mon people, let's keep this info bumped. If it happens in NY, whose next?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EddardinWinter]

Amazing...the line must be drawn here. WTF?? A product that is cheaper, cleaner, safer, and not harmful to others--BAN IT! Stupid politicians.

 

[AuBadge]

It seems pretty obvious that there's a self-serving agenda at play.

 

[yzer]

Federal government, states and cities pass bans or taxes on tobacco products. If you are a taxpayer in NY, please respond. If you don't live in NY, it doesn't matter.

 

[JENerationX]

If you don't live in NY, it doesn't matter.

It matters to everyone. If one state does this, others will follow.

 

[elfstone]

Well, NY state just climbed again to the top of most dystopian places in the world.

Sent the below text as an email...

I strongly oppose S07635 that would ban all electronic cigarette sales, but I do support a ban on sales to minors. Senator Johnson's S02926B (same as A 9044-B introduced by Assembly member Linda Rosenthal) would appropriately ban sales to minors while keeping the products available to adults as a reduced-risk alternative to smoking.

I started using “e-cigarettes” (or vaporizers) only a short time ago, and have drastically cut down on smoking. I smoke about a third of what I did a short time ago, and plan to quit smoking completely within a week.

Research has consistently shown that virtually all e-cigarette users are using them as a substitute for smoking. The vast majority tried to quit smoking multiple times, using other methods available and failed. This applies to me as well, with the difference that my smoking always returned to the previous level, once I gave up in a day or two.

Many users deprived of the ability to purchase e-cigarettes in New York or anywhere else, would return to the far more hazardous act of smoking since tobacco cigarettes which ironically, would continue to be readily available in New York.

E-cigarettes have been shown to pose so little health risk that it is below what can be measured and no one has even tried to estimate it.

a. Claims about chemical contamination are vastly overblown. Some of the supposed contaminants occur as such incredibly low levels that they are barely measurable using the most modern instruments.

b. Pharmaceutical nicotine products like patches and nicotine gum contain about the same quantities of “carcinogens” as a gram of e-cigarette liquid—about 8 nanograms. In contrast, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes contains 126,000 nanograms.

Cigarette lighters and home fires started by smoking tobacco cigarettes cause far more injuries than e-cigarettes have. According to one study, well over a thousand people are injured per year due to defective lighters and over 1,000 people are killed by fires caused by smoking. I almost set fire to a couch myself at one point.

As for smoking itself, on average, it is estimated that smoking for just a couple of months poses a greater health risk than a lifetime of using a smoke-free nicotine or tobacco product.

Please see the CASAA.org website for more information.

By the way, keep us updated, ciarlone! I'm not a New Yorker, but as you can see, I'm certainly sympathetic...
