PLEASE Sign this petition to gain US support for the eCig industry!

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Recognize electronic cigarettes as an effective alternative to smoking and support job creation in this new industry.

Electronic cigarettes have just begun to capture the attention of the American public, 24% of whom are regular cigarette smokers. This new technology has shown promise in reducing the adverse health effects associated with smoking, while delivering an experience that can satisfy the cravings which make quitting so difficult. It's no secret that smoking accounts for nearly $100 billion dollars in healthcare costs annually- not to mention the productivity lost when smokers fall ill or pass away due to smoking related diseases. The administration's support for this emerging technology would pave the way for reducing the societal costs of smoking, while creating jobs in a new sector which has grown significantly in the past two years. Support job creation and deficit reduction by signing now!

Well... 10 more sigs since I posted this an hour ago!

This petition will close on Oct 27th. It needs to have 5000 signers by then so a member of Congress will actually look at and consider it. If the 5000 is not reached by that time, this petition will have done us no good.

Please sign Now. Get your brothers, sisters, moms, dads, wife, husband, kids of voting age, pastor, doctor, neighbor, mistress, maid, garbageman, grocer, shrink, gas station attendant, and that nephew who is a crazy conspiracy nut to sign. Spread this like a virus !

There are THOUSANDS of vapers here!!! Right now, at 8:00 in the morning, there are 1000 people on line as I type this.

There is no reason that we can't come up with 5000 signatures in a month!

PLEASE re-post this thread EVERYWHERE you like to hang out... All of your favorite vendors forums, every where you can start a thread, start this one. Why not? This is the approach that should be taken every time an ecig related petition needs to be signed! Most people don't go poking around looking for petitions, who visits the index and reads the announcements in a forum this huge? Put it in everybody's reach, and they will sign it. Or, they are a crappy selfish vaper, that doesn't care if vaping goes extinct... That is all.

I wonder if people are put off because they have to register to sign?? It's easy, it's quick, give some basic info, confirm by email and you're done!

500 to go lets go people

Signed the petition. Anything to keep e-cigarettes readily available. Gotta love how the government let's analogs be, but tries to make e-cigarettes to be the enemy. Big brothers love for huge corporations.

 

[monarch79]

Exactly 100 more vapers need to get off their high horse and sign up!!!

Don't be a conspiracy theorist, the government is not going to come after you because they have your email address... They already know where you live...

Ok, so now that we just over 5000 and are going for more... (YAY!!!!)

who do we contact to make sure that the people responsible for writing the response have access to ALL of the information and research about e-cigs? We need to contact them and give them supporting information so that they don't just write a knee jerk response based on the discredited FDA study.

This is the LAST day to stand up and be counted!!!!
