November 17 - Great American Smokeout

[Vocalek]

The American Cancer Society has published suggestions for Great American Smokout day activities.

Wouldn't November 17th be a great day for vapers to openly use their PVs and carry cards to hand to smokers and non-smokers who ask questions.

I like to walk up to people who are standing outside smoking, pull out my PV, point to their cigarette and say, "That's so 20th Century. This is the future of smoking." Of course I smile when I say it. So far it has proven to be a great conversation-starter.

Just tell em, with a smile, "Oh, so your old school".

That's every day for me. I may have convinced a Philadelphia District Attorney to switch to e-cigs last night. I even gave him half-a-package of Swedish Snus and explained that smokers have twice the risk of oral cancer. He was apprehensive, but I told him I wasn't going to take it back, and that he should use one the next time he has a nicotine fit and doesn't want to go outside.

RJ Reynolds has informed me that it will run full page advertisements urging smokers to switch to Camel Snus on the Great American Smokeout on November 17, similar to Camel Snus ads that Reynolds ran for New Year's Day, Valentines Day and when NY City's outdoor smoking ban went into effect.

Nothing quite like RJ Reynolds promoting the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout by urging smokers to switch to Camel Snus.

 

[Vocalek]

It works for me!

Does anyone remember which brand(s) of trial types are the best ones? I'd love to pick up a batch of the good ones and print out some ECF cards.

CASAA business cards are back in stock. You pay only shipping charges. CASAA Business Cards - Root - CASAA

I wonder how the ACS will react to those ads?.

And since nobody got this one in...

"The Great American vape Out"

 

[rothenbj]

And since nobody got this one in...

"The Great American vape Out"

That would be "The Great American vape IN"

 

[Vocalek]

I'm thinking that lapel stickers that read

"Quit or Die
Is a Lie"

would be a good conversation-starter. Thanks to Bystander1 from West Virginia for this rather snappy slogan.

if only they'd promote it even better by making a snus that doesn't taste like coffee flavored saw dust lol

We are discussing the setting-up of a National Vaping Day on Saturday December 10th.

You read it here first

 

[Vocalek]

Nope! I read it in my email first!

Don't care where I read it, I'm delighted to join you all by vaping on that day.

Which, of course, is something I would have been doing anyway...
