I received an ACTION ALERT email from a Florida Supplier asking for people to contact their representative tomorrow, Monday morning.
I wish I could post the whole thing...

snippetts from the email :

HB169

This bill has already passed with a unanimous vote in the Florida Senate, and has been placed on special order calendar in the Florida House of Representatives for this Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014.

This bill is expected to pass into law unless immediate opposition and action is displayed by Florida vapers.

Your House Representative has until 2pm tomorrow, Monday April 21st, to submit any amendments to the bill.

If this bill is allowed to pass into law with the current language, online Florida businesses may be forced to stop online sales to Florida customers on July 1st, 2014.

The following language from HB169 Section 11 places new restrictions on how ecigs and e-liquids can be sold after July 1st, 2014:

Quote:
"(11) RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OR DELIVERY OF NICOTINE PRODUCTS OR NICOTINE DISPENSING devices.—
(a) In order to prevent persons under 18 years of age from purchasing or receiving nicotine products or nicotine dispensing devices, the sale or delivery of such products or devices is prohibited, except:
1. When under the direct control, or line of sight where effective control may be reasonably maintained, of the retailer of nicotine products or nicotine dispensing devices or such retailer's agent or employee;"
