Here is a copy of a post I made on the Progressive Libertarianism facebook page. They will probably be a receptive ally.
I would like to know if there is anything I might be stretching too much or need to edit out. I am planning on using this to post to every organization that might be an ally or enemy, send to my congresswoman or any other opportunity that might pop up.

After 42 years of struggling with quitting cigarettes I don't want this miracle taken away from me.


"E-cigarettes have helped me quit smoking after 42 years. I haven't felt this good, been this healthy, been this energetic, been able to breathe this well in those 42 years.

It is estimated that at least 50% of the people who seriously try e-cigarettes are able to quit smoking. It is also estimated by Doctors who have studied this that e-cigs are 1/100th as dangerous as real cigarettes. (That is Doctors who have studied this who were not funded by tobacco or pharmacy money).

The good ole FDA is scheduled to stick their nose in the issue in April. They seem to be taking a quit or die policy. If they decide to ban e-cigarettes they will be effectively killing millions of would be ex-smokers.

If you would like to see real people talking about the positive effect e-cigarettes have had on real people please visit any e-cig message board.

This one decision by the FDA could kill more Americans than have died in every war ever fought by this nation.

Please help us."

Maybe be a little more specific with links to websites where you can find good information. I know TasteYourJuice.com has a section with some helpful links on studies that have been done regarding safety of e-cigs. Also, from what I understand you are supposed to write out the first number in a paragraph and then any following numbers can be shortened to numerical digits. You might come up with some other words in those first few lines. Instead of writing "42" three times in a row, try, "a very long time," or "nearly a lifetime" or "four decades later." These are just my ideas. I like what you're doing and I think it's important that we spread the word and raise awareness.

If you're in the mood to watch a (kind of silly) video on the subject of vaping in public you can check this out.

I'm actually searching for that right now. I told my friend that he needed to pass out handouts when people harassed him about vaping in California. Why were you so po'ed? Anything that can be done to help? Don't worry, this vaping thing is really growing. Soon, we'll be known everywhere and people will high-five us and ask us to vape harder cause it smells good and kills the flu.

Right to Choose - Focus on e-cigarette Ban

Outstanding video
Originally posted by Factor52 in the Legislation forum

Everyone opposed to e-cigarettes should be Forced to watch this video
before they would be allowed to open their mouth 1 more time to lie about e-smoking.

Every "elected official" and every "board of health" ... should be Forced to watch this video
before voting on any e-cigarette restriction or ban !!

This video should be networked EVERYWHERE !!!!!!

Here is the direct YouTube link

I think one of the things that I want to communicate is that for some people, quitting is a desperate struggle and that convential methods fail. E-cigs are comparable with patches, gum and less harmful than Chantix, all of which have less than a 20% effectiveness. E-cigs have closer to 70%-80% effectiveness rate and it's long term. It's a miracle.
