What's weird is a lot of us were "children" once, and we started smoking cigarettes.
We need a "save the former children now dying of lung cancer bit."
I also love how politicians go "children can't help it, they make bad choices" to "Why not join the military at 18."
Every one of those little munchkin creatures made a CHOICE to try vaping. Instead of giving them consequences WE, the adults get them.
I do not understand that is not how things worked for me a) as a child and b) with my own kid.
Being 17 and 23 hours doesn't give you a free pass you know.
Sigh off to get ready for work.

I was watching a Chicago mob documentary the other night. They came up on the part where Capone paid off the jury in his tax evasion trial. I see little difference between Scarface paying off a jury and BP paying off our congressman to wipe out vaping.
Yes, I totally agree. What I am talking about is writing a personal note and then including the proof to back it up. Of course, they may not read it, but we would have concisely made it easy for them to do so.
Well, it sure will be true if we just sit here on our asses. No offense, but hoping isn't going to do anything.
Ok... lets start one. I think this should be in the packet.

It's kind of interesting that if you give to a politician and exercise care that no one can prove a quid pro quo then all is well. A campaign contribution, pay for a speech, pay a spouse for a speech, make a fine business deal available, assure a wonderful job when the political gig is up or provide a senator or rep an insider stock tip then all is well. So long it is just 'coincidental in time, well, who cares? I love the conception of an ethics committee in the House and Senate as well as all of the state and local committees. These jokers enter politics with some money and leave rich, how does that happen?
Not saying we should do nothing.
I've signed every petition available since 2014.
Wrote snail mail letters, sent so many e-mails I no longer get any canned responses back.
Gotten frustrated talking to B&Ms who don't want you to talk to other customers about the pending regulations.
Most vapors still don't have a clue whats coming in the future.
B&Ms are the front line for informing vapers, most are not on forums, or buy online.
Seems like the industry won't step up and fight for their business.
No offense taken but what are you doing besides stocking up?
For me, I go out, buy a ribbon, wear it proudly and I raise awareness. Then I go back to sleep secure in my belief that I have "done something".
Sending messages to my representatives. Right now, trying to see if we can put together a good packet of info. I'm not a member of Twitter, are you? That's something we know that Trump does himself. It's a way to reach him directly.
As opposed to the guy before him, who signed the bill leading to the Deeming Regs?..and make sure an info packet sent to ourPOTUS has lots of (or only) pictures..
I was hoping to provide a list of concise information. Not expect them to look through endless posts on ecf trying to get some information. I seriously doubt they would do that. Do you? But, a link to ecf could certainly be provided at the end. That way they'd have it, if they wanted more.
I don't think the government is built to do what you think it does. I just had the police knock at my door with their hands on their guns because I requested excommunication from the catholic church through email.
The government is comprised of thieves, of low intelligence and even lower moral capacity. They will never deal with any situation logically, they will always view every condition through the lens of 'how do I not get caught, and held accountable'. Through this mechanism it is easy to predict their actions.
Had Deeming went according to the schedule set by the previous administration we would now be in our 11th month of post-vapocalypse. And to be sure the regulations covered all Americans he applied them to all 57 states...and make sure an info packet sent to our
There are some prepared packages of information floating around here somewhere. Like you said the volume made them a bit pointless for your target audience. You have to figure out what they will take the time to read.
Maybe a short personal letter saying what vaping has done for you. That's what I've sent to some politicians. Even better if you write it rather than type it. That might stand out from the tidal wave of emails.
If you want to send information maybe half a dozen links with a short introduction and a one or two sentence summary of what's in each link. In the unlikely event they want to know more they could click on the links.
To be honest anything beyond " I vape and it saved my life and I think it should go on being available for smokers" would be wasted. You're writing to some overworked intern who sits at a desk reading letters 8 hours a day. The best you can hope for is that the intern goes to a weekly meeting with the Pol and says we got a bunch of pro-vaping letters this week.
