[Sundodger]

Look like a good turn out and job by supporter of vaping at that meeting today. Good job to all that went to it and thanks!

Surprise opposition derails Emanuel

Here's another article I just found about the committee meeting:

E-Cigarette Restrictions Go Up in Smoke Over Nicotine 'Conundrum' - Downtown - DNAinfo.com Chicago

BTW, someone should hook up Alderman Brendan Reilly with some gear and juice. Can you imagine if he does manage to kick the habit through e-cigs? Next time this comes up again, he can stand up and say "Hey remember when I started vaping to quit smoking? Well, this stuff works and I'm proof." That would be amazing positive PR.

An outstanding victory! Well done to all who showed up!

Yay (for a while anyway.) Wonder if Alderman Reilly is using a device that is really sufficient to turn him off to smokes?? Agree that someone ought to make sure he has something really useful in that effort!

I don't know if this will help, but I emailed Reilly last evening to thank him for his support; congratulate him on trying ecigs and wishing him well on the switch; and suggesting he check out ECF if he wants more information on vaping and ecig equipment; and finally, expressing my hope that he'll continue to support vaping.

(His email is office@ward42chicago.com in case anyone else wants to thank him.)
