Thank you. I'll have a few select Youtube Videos, handouts and Medical documentation. Also 2 of the Politicians family members that now vape will speak- one with a smoke related illness- his Dr will also attend and attest to the fact that his health has improved. Some family members will also attend attesting to the fact the transition from smoking to vaping was a relatively peaceful and calm transition with little or none of the vicious mood swings they have witnessed with other cessation methods. Also a taped "video letter" from my dentist detailing, with pics, the marked improvement in my oral health. Also have a Pharmacist explaining her take on the relative safety of the inhalation of PG and VG\. She will give also her views on the lack of success of present cessation methods. My GP will also speak as to the general improvement in my health. My Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon will also speak in regards to the remarkable improvement in my sinus area shortly after I began vaping. He will present pics and an MRI before my first operation 1 1/2 yrs ago, another one 5 months ago and another 3 weeks ago....his own words- remarkable and unexplainable- as my original issue was coming back with a vengeance and I was about to go under the knife again. As for videotaping I did not ask because it's enuff that they're "going against the grain" and I don't want to push things too quickly. My hope is that this will become a grass roots movement amongst the Medical Establishment. Next to BP they are the most powerful group out there in regards to promoting a more successful alternative to other cessation methods. I feel that if they see, hear and witness, from within their own peer group, the success of Personal vaping versus other cessation methods they will walk away from this experience far more enlightened and encouraged. My role will be very minor and my hope is that they will become more outspoken and active. More importantly I want them to begin a dialogue within their Community and I am more than willing to aid them in any way possible BUT I believe this is something that is going to have to evolve within their own peer group. I merely want, as Hairball would say, to "kick them in the britches to get them going" 
I will give you an example of how I convinced my GP about Vit B12. 1 yr ago my wife and I began taking sublingual B12. My GP noted my health, in certain areas, had improved dramatically. I told him about B12 and how some of the medical community believed the minimum standards in N. America were too low as opposed to Asia. He didn't believe it was the B12. I sought out a well known Dr who is is pro B12 and contacted him and explained the situation- he visited and spoke with my GP...low and behold my GP is now following the Asian standards of B12 levels and on my last visit he admitted the general health level of most of his 50 yr+ clients had improved. The bottom line...even though I have a degree in Kinesiology (never used it) Dr's will generally not listen to the layman and are far more easily swayed by those within their own profession.

great post and thank you for sharing. as to the other, here let me help you --->
vapoor eyes---is there any possibilities that you will be able to video tape that session? are you going to do a powerpoint presentation or hand outs? i'm very interested in what you are going to say and present it...i'd love to find a positive approach for some of our docs.
