Hey everyone. I've been reading more stories about bans being voted into place, the threats of making this and that outright illegal, etc....as most of you have. Two things keep flowing through my feeble brain, (1) how long we, as smokers, have put up with the shame and ridicule and (2) the fight we are going through to be able to make what is in some cases a choice that will save our lives.
This got me thinking...we need to place the shame that we have been given onto those that are attempting to deny us this gift. And I think I have a good way to do it, that, if implemented correctly and soon enough, may even help slow down a little bit of this madness.
Of course...it could be a dumb idea too. lol
What I'm thinking is, we need a permanent, public record of ALL politicians, scientists, public figures, etc who have been voting and/or vocal opponents of vaping. A web site devoted to nothing more than recording and listing these names for years to come, so that when someone or their friend or loved one is diagnosed with lung cancer, they will see exactly who stood in the way of ending the era of tobacco.
I think it could be so simple. And the effectiveness could come from not putting the emphasis on vaping, but putting it on "these people contributed to the legacy of lung cancer". a "Wall of Shame". Something like "politiciansforlungcancer" dotcom. Or "thesepeoplepromotecancer" dotcom...you get the idea
Then as votes are cast, their names are emblazoned on a web site tying them to furthering the agony of lung cancer. Of course we'd have to be a little cautious in our wording, like we can't say "they GAVE you lung cancer", but creative, suggestive writing could be damning for a politician to have their name attached to. And by making it a permanent record...moving forward some might think twice about their very NAME having a place on this page.
Anyone have some input on this, or want to get it going? Ideally a domain name paid for 10 years or whatever the maximum allowed is. Dollarwise, this whole thing would be CHEAP. VERY CHEAP.
Thoughts?
