NVC report received today Jan 24th:
Hello Vapers and supporters... we still need your help!!! If this ban passes in New York... it will spread to other states like wildfire! Please do what you can no matter where you live!!!!
Last week we sent you an email asking you to go to VapeBans.com <http://www.VapeBans.com> and take 10 seconds to use the automatic form letter to contact New York Assembly Health Committee members. You can still do that if you have not done it yet... but we really need your help with phone calls today! We have today.. Monday January 24th. Tomorrow they may vote to
send it to the full Assembly and then there will be too many of them for us to call. We need to try to stop this HERE!!! The phone numbers are pasted below to make things easier for you. You do NOT need to call every person on the list... pick a few at random. If we each pick 2 or 3 to call it WILL make a difference!!! If you have difficulty talking to people on the phone, you can try reading the following when you call...
"My name is ________. I am calling in reference to A-1468. If this passes, I would no longer be able to buy electronic cigarettes in New York. I smoked for ___ years. I quit smoking using an electronic cigarette. Why would Assemblyman/Assemblywoman ________ want to take away my choice to use a healthier alternative? I have sent emails with studies showing that the e-cigarette is safer than smoking and that there has not been one recorded case of a negative reaction from using an e-cigarette with more than a million former smokers using them!"
You should tell them that you encourage them to ban sales to MINORS, but that section 2 of this bill actually bans sales to ADULTS and you cannot understand why the representative would want to do that if it would send you back to cigarettes! Then tell them your story for as long as they will listen!!! Tell the secretary, the legal aid, whoever answers the phone... because they are the ones that report back to the Assembly member. If we ALL call and tell them our story... it WILL make a difference!!! If you don't live in NY you can tell them that the company you purchase your electronic cigarettes from is based in New York (eliquidplanet.com, evaporworld.com, myvaporstore.com) and you may not be able to get them if they stop sales in New York. You can
tell them you don't want them to take away your choice to use a healthier alternative. Tell them how good you feel and how much your life is improved. Tell them how e-cigarettes saved YOUR life. They NEED to hear your story. Tell them how many times you tried to quit before. Tell them how your kids like that you will be around long enough to see them graduate (use the children... cause 2 can play at that game!). The numbers are below.
Just to be clear (we have had some questions from people who are not sure how the leguslative system works)... if this passes through the NY Assembly Health Committee ... it will not mean that e-cigarettes are banned in New York. It will mean that the entire Assembly (who voted UNANIMOUSLY to pass this bill last year!!!) will get to vote on it and there are too many of them for us to meet with and talk to. We need to stop this before it gets to them!
We all love to talk about e-cigs.... call these people and TALK to them!! And even if it doesn't make a difference and they vote to pass it.. that will be dozens more people who find out about e-cigs and who encourage loved ones to try them... so at least we will be saving lives!
If you have questions or need help you can contact us at VapersClub[AT]aol[DOTcom or 516 695 7007.
Thank you for your help and support... please call as many as you can find time to call and be sure to include the chair listed at the top and the bill sponsor Linda Rosenthal!
