Done

Can you post the direct emails for the committee members?

You can follow this Call to Action to Email
CASAA: Call to Action! Massachusetts E-Cigarette Usage Ban -- HB 3639

But Members of the US Congress don't have published Email address to email too. They do have a contact form to fill out but you have to be in their District.

Also you may not do Twitter but a lot of Policy Makers do use twitter.

 

[drsocal]

Will do. Glad to help!

 

[FranC]

Done.........

Hello

I support banning the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, but I'd like you to vote NO on HB 3639 unless the ban on e-cigarette usage in public places is removed.

I tried every available method to try to quit smoking. Nicotine patches & gum, tobacco chew (yuck), cold turkey, hypnosis (twice) and finally found e-cigarettes.
For me it took a week of smoking and vaping to decide that vaping is better, on top of being considerably safer.
I've been smoke-free for over 5 months now and feel better, smell better, don't clear my throat all day, etc...we all know how gross smoking is.
One of the biggest factors of my success is vaping gives me the nicotine and the activity without the 3000+ harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke.

My wife successfully quit when I did and still uses her cigarette lookalike.
I started with a cigg lookalike but have upgraded to a longer lasting battery device with unlimited flavors to choose from.
Many business owners realize that vaping is a much safer alternative than smoking and many places I visit allow vaping.
I don't hide my nicotine use and I help educate who I can.
People ask me "what's that thing" or "what's in that thing" and some people ask for info while we discuss vaping.
I keep cards with me with web addresses to casaa.org, www.e-cigarette-forum.com and a few other helpful sites.

I might quit vaping someday but there's no rush. I quit smoking using safer vapor and that's the important thing.
Make vaping easier for smokers that want to quit. Not harder. Help save their lives.

Kids shouldn't smoke, vape, drink, do drugs, yada yada. Obviously.

Please ban minors from purchasing e-ciggs but please don't limit our (quitting smokers) access to such an invaluable tool.

If anything I feel our representatives should encourage e-cigg education and use.

Please visit CASAA.org website, as well as the CASAA Research Library, for more information.


Thank you

Hey everybody (or anybody), would it be better to use the terms: "Personal Vapor Device" and "Nicotine Delivery System" instead of e-cig? Cigarettes are a nicotine delivery system that uses combustion instead of atomizing a fluid. I know this might be splitting hairs, but the more we (vaporers) can remove ourselves from the negative politics and world view of smoking, the better we can mitigate our own destiny. Yes, I realize there are lots of politicians rubbing their greasy hand over the possibility of another 500% taxable revenue stream, and I do realize we are on borrowed time for the IRS to catch our stash. That being said, education starts with dictating the "terms" that define us and not being lumped into a category that we no longer belong to or are trying to get away from!

However, excellent post!

Thanks, I was considering the same thing but chose to go with what they know.
I'm so new at actually G'ingAF that I'm totally up for suggestions.
That's why I copy/pasted. So I can get some constructive criticism and spark discussion.

Tweeted and already did my testimonial.
Thanks Thew92

 

[Bintmartin]

I tweeted them all and did the FB thing.

 

[Ken_A]

Listening to the VP Live Vape Team tonight... good Idea to give away free prizes for people doing the tweets, facebook etc....

Maybe we can motivate people to actually take responsibility for being adults.

yeah.... sorry for being pissy, but these stories of vaping being banned is pissing me off.

 

[FranC]

Don't blame ya Ken. It's not making me happy either.
