Need some legal expertise here in Los Angeles...

[Brooklyn Hudson]

I'm in Los Angeles and had a conversation with Audrey Silk from CLASH, regarding the lawsuit to overturn the NY ban against e-cigs and vaping. I would like to do the same here in Los Angeles, but I need some help going over the L.A. ban to find a loophole similar to NY which is a violation of one Subject Rule of the city’s Charter. “They can ban electronic cigarettes all day long. They cannot use the cover of the Smoke-Free Air Act,”. Can anyone with legal expertise look over the L.A. ban and see if we are dealing with the same potential loophole here?

If we can sandwich the nation with bi-coastal lawsuits, we can set a pretty powerful precedent. I also wonder if this can help to squelch AB-1500 or at least delay it.

If anyone can help, please contact me at: info@brooklynhudson.com

Thank you!

I have no input, but I will give your thread a bump in the hopes that help will come.

You might find some help if you post in the CASAA part of the forum. I don't know if you have to be a member to post there or not, but here is a link.

I don't know, unfortunately, but as a Los Angeles resident I would like to help however I can.

I emailed my councilman (Fuentes) twice before the council vote and got no response. None. I emailed Garcetti before he signed it and again, got no response. I attended the #IMPROOF rally at Pershing Square and not a single media outlet could be bothered to show up.

I'm bitter. Yep, bitter. So count me in.

Thanks for the support, everyone. I am a member of CASAA, but I have not spoken with the organization yet. I will contact them on Monday. Fingers crossed, we will have the same case as NY and be able to forge ahead.
