Help Chicago Fight for their right to Vape!

[Davinna]

The City of Chicago is under attack!!!!

CASAA: URGENT CTA Chicago E-Cigarette Usage Ban 12-9-13

We are still trying to confirm details, but it appears that the City of Chicago is deliberately failing to provide advance notice in an effort to eliminate opposition to the ordinance.

UPDATE:It appears that the e-cigarette usage ban and other measures will be introduced and have a public hearing on Monday, December 9th at 11:30 AM at City Hall (121 N LaSalle St in Chicago) before the Joint Committee on Health & Environmental Justice & Finance.
We have been told that supporters hope to rush this through the full Council on Wednesday, so immediate action is required. We urge all vapers to attend and testify!

Lets tweet at some Chicago Alderman. Asking them to stop the Rahm Emanuel from over regulating Ecigs.

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

This... is awesome:

“We’re punishing a group of people for trying not to smoke …You can’t have it both ways. You can’t on one day say, `We’re going to tax the heck out of cigarettes,’ then the next day [say], `For those of you who can’t afford it and decide you want to smoke vapor, we’re going to decide you can’t do that, either,’ “ said Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th).

She added, “There is no proof that water vapor in the air does anything. If that is the case, humidifiers are gone. And boiling water is gone in restaurants.”

Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) took a puff of an e-cigarette during Monday’s meeting, then acknowledged that he recently purchased e-cigarettes to try to kick the smoking habit.
