Legislation based on ignorance. Alas, this is our state and country. Regardless, I'll be there. The last two Vape-Ins were great!
The last two vape -ins were fun! I'm excited about his one too
(hopefully we'll be able to get people willing to help educate the council members)

Hey guys. Another Bama vaper here. Just saw a post in the New Members Forum about SB197 and SB198. I fired off a letter to my Sen. and Rep. for Calhoun County, Del Marsh and K.L Brown.
I am writing to you in the outrage of learning of two Bills before the Senate, SB197 and SB198, seeking to amend the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act in such a way as to categorize the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs, personal vaporizers, etc.,) in the same manner as tobacco based smoking products. It is clear after reading the proposed legislation that the authors are completely ignorant on the subject of electronic cigarettes and how they function. First, the "juice" is comprised of water, food grade propylene glycol (found in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food and considered safe for human ingestion by the FDA) flavorings, and nicotine. The juice is heated by an electronic coil and vaporizes the solution much like the nebulizers used to treat those with respiratory disorders. The resulting vapor is inhaled, and then exhaled as water vapor. Cigarette smoke contains over 4000 known poisons, and second hand smoke is believed to be a health hazard to even those who do not smoke. On the other hand, the vapor produced by an e-cig contains NONE of those deadly carcinogens. The vapor poses no risk to anyone in the vicinity of a person using an e-cig. There isn't even a discernible odor associated with e-cig vapor. For that reason alone, there is no basis for treating e-cigs as a risk to indoor air quality and public health and including them under any bans. I urge the members of the Alabama Legislature to fully inform themselves about the nature and benefits of e-cigs before voting on such ridiculous impediments of personal liberty. I am an e-cig user, and because of this, I have been able to effectively stop smoking cigarettes when no other "medically approved" methods worked for me. I can breath better, I am more active, and I no longer pose a danger to those around me because of electronic cigarette substitutes. I urge you to vote NO on SB197 and SB198 unless e-cigs are removed from the prohibitory language. I will most certainly remember how you voted for me, when I am asked to vote for you again.
Respectfully,
Michael Hulsey
Jacksonville, AL.
