If you haven't read the "Urgent Calls to Action," I hope you take a few moments and read it! I don't wish to mesh this room with politics, but it's getting rather serious. Here, so many of us have quit tobacco via the electronic cigarette and now the government wants to eradicate this as well. Our rights are being taken away a little at a time, and I'm rather sick of it. This country is turning into a dictatorship, stripping us of our rights one at a time. I quit tobacco almost 4 years ago, and now they wish to punish me for that. I have contacted via email my elected officials and I encourage everyone to do that as well. This has to stop. Thus far, Mississippi hasn't been one of the front runners of this, but my senators have heard from me...more than once. My doctor is estatic I put down tobacco. Tobacco users are treated as lepers. It's a choice that the government has no right to push on it's citizens. Soon, the insurance companies won't pay for any ailments that might have to do with cigarettes, cigars, etc. This is just wrong. The revenue they pay with the taxes from cigarettes is bad enough, but now this? Shame on them! When is it going to be enough? Can't use salt in New York City. BUT, grass is legal in Colorado. Give me a break! If you get a moment, please contact your elected officials. How are they going to know how you feel if you don't tell them.

Am now pushing my soapbox back up under the bed. Thank you for allowing me to vent.

Thank you for the 3 cents as I can always use extra money. I'm just rather tired of the government telling me what I can do and what I can't do. I have broken no laws, and don't intend to as I answer to a Higher Source. I suggest that folks, if possible, stock up on the e-juice before you can no longer buy any. Why is the government trying to stick their noses into what goes on in my home. I'm not selling drugs, God forbid, hacking into other people's accounts (wouldn't know how to do it if I wanted to.) rob banks, etc. I realize that Chapter 13 of Romans applies here, but feel like things have gone too far? I can't even imagine what the tribulation period is going to be like. Terrible....terrible. Please, guys, contact your officials before it's too late and set up a stock of your favorite e-juices in your home.

I don't know if you've seen the movie 'Blast From the Past,' with Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, and Brendan Fraiser. It's quite entertaining. Not to give away the plot, but Walken during the 60's built a replica of his house in a bomb shelter underneath his home in case the Russians try to invade the U.S. He set the time lock for 30 years. When Walken rides his elevator up to the surface, he didn't like what he saw. There was a guy in an old ice cream parlor above and when Walken got to the top, he told the guy "leave my elevator alone." Well, the guy thought Walken was a deity of somekind and started chanting, 'leave my elevator alone.' Funny movie. Well, I want to chant, 'leave my e-cig alone.' If this passes, there is no telling what the government will do next. I am not anti-government. Like I said I follow the laws, but this is ludicrious! :shock:

    You had me at 'next.' I just don't want this thing to pass without my having done my part in contacting these folks. You do what you have the power to do.....legally, of course! Stopping and taking the time to email these guys who the website listed, plus your senators goes a long way to at least trying. :)
