I spent the majority of my evening joining forums ranging from cancer related, to quit smoking, to groups dealing with protecting our rights against over legislation. At each I have posted the following letter (though slightly tweeked on some forums in order to show how our cause pertains to there's). Feel free to post this letter on your own forums or edit to fit your own needs. Keep getting the word out as progress on the petition has been slow this weekend (currently at 159 signatures)!
The posts are as follows:
Forum Title:
45 Million Americans need your help!
Believe it or not there is actually a product currently on the market that is proving to have up to a 70% success rate at helping smokers to quit the the
tobacco habit!! It is so amazing that most people (including myself) quit the moment they obtain a legitimate device. I am going to provide you with a video link and a forum link in which you can do your own research and hear stories from individual after individual testifying to this very fact. I have asked all undersigning members of the petition to post their experiences with the product as well and I simply ask that you read what they are saying. The product has been poorly labeled and marketed as an "Electronic Cigarette" which is a term that most who have used absolutely hate. Fact is it is NOT a cigarette but more of an inhaler. The user is inhaling a liquid which has under 20 ingredients which have all been previously approved by the FDA. This as compared to the almost 5000 chemicals and 27 carcinogens in standard cigarettes! Big
tobacco companies and pharmaceutical companies (who either manufacture cigarettes or the cessation products with a despicable 5% success rate) are putting pressure on the FDA to ban these products! We beg you to get the facts!!! Please, as this is a matter of life or death to one out of every five Americans! In addition these Electronic Cigarettes, or "personal vaporizers" as we like to call them, do not produce smoke, therefore no harmful second hand smoke, NO ODOR, no ash, no butts. They also have no open flame therefore no fire danger.
