Casaa availability of spokespersons

[ArtyPa]

A local radio talk show host and I were talking off the air about vaping and the regulatory influences currently in play.

He is not a vaping proponent but wants to explore it as an on air topic.

Rather than getting on the air and not getting to adequately defend the issues ,i was hoping that CASAA had spokespersons who would

be prepared to respresent the vaping option in an informative consistant manner by way of telephone call in or as a segment guest.

is that service available?

It's not a "service", CASAA is a bunch of people that may or may not be free when he is. But I suggest you email the board (email is on their website, or at least in the calls to action. I suggest the subject line should be "Radio Talk-show Host needs THR spokesperson."

It is possible that instead of a CASAA board member you would get Greg, for instance, or whoever has the bandwidth. You could also PM some of the board members that are on ECF, such as Kristin. Also, placeboeffect is Greg Conley, no longer on the board because he is representing the industry at this point.

What kind of information is he looking for? local or federal legislation, health aspects, or all of the above?

As Berylanna said, I am no longer on CASAA's board, but would be glad to come on in either my position at the American Vaping Association or the Heartland Institute.

You can reach out to CASAA on this by e-mailing them at board@casaa.org. I'm sure Julie Woessner or Dr. Carl Phillips would be glad to come on.

CASAA's Scientific Director, Dr. Carl Phillips, enjoys doing radio interviews. He's the most knowledgeable director when it comes to the science and has decades of harm reduction advocacy. You can reach him using the board@casaa.org email already posted.
