I'm curious but am not on Facebook and never will be.

It truly wasn't much of anything, just another in the millions of stories we vapers can tell. It was a somewhat desperate attempt, as Kat indicated, at getting some of my non-vaping friends to stop ignoring me. I intentionally avoided the actual topic of vaping, as much as possible, until midway down.

I don't know if it helped. I only saw tangible results from one person. And that one person would support me in pretty much anything I asked, so it's not fair to judge results based on her actions.

But maybe things happened that I never saw, or hopefully WILL happen (that I may never see). We need to extend this fight outside of our circle, and we can. We just have to figure out how.

We will. Yes, we will (channeling SR)!

It WAS something! You took the time to write it! It is meaningful! You did something! Remember, it may have took a million straws to break that camels back but it was that last one that did it! Every straw counted!

{{{{{{ STORM!!!!!!!!!!!! }}}}}}}}}} I saw your post just before I closed the Lurker thread (15,000 limit reached and new one started)

So you see me on facebook huh? :D Seems like the only thing I post on FB anymore is vape advocacy stuff or try to make the new members see some sense. :facepalm:

Ugh, you poor thing. I'll jump in occasionally, and do all the calls, but consider myself semi-retired. The low level irritation and my health weren't getting along. Hang on and I'll drop you a FB friends request. You'll probably know me when you see me, but fair warning, I probably have the quietest wall on FB. ;)

In case you aren't monitoring the other thread -

I'm posting this again, in case anyone missed it:

For more on how and why tobacco companies support e-cig regulation, see this paper, forthcoming in the Yale Journal on Regulation. I found it in a Washington Post article*.

Bootleggers, Baptists, and E-Cigarettes by Bruce Yandle, Roger E. Meiners, Jonathan H. Adler, Andrew P. Morriss :: SSRN

*Why the FDA’s new e-cigarette regulations are a gift to Big Tobacco (and could actually harm public health)
I just read the first few pages (the rest over the next few days) but that's a marvelous article. Thanks for posting the link.
Which is the "other thread"?

But I'll danged if I'm going to throw in the towel now. Not only is this a winnable fight, even if not immediately, but I'm absolutely certain that we WILL win it. It may even take an election or two, but we will.
I agree. Now, it may take a decade or two, but we will win this eventually. I'm hoping that's a gross exaggeration!
