Hi Everyone,
As vapers, I know most of us know and understand what's going on with the FDA's proposed regulations. I also know that most of us have loved ones who are thrilled to see us not smoking, but don't have a clue what's going on. Many of those people would do anything in their power to keep us smoke-free, and all we have to do is ask. I just posted this on my facebook page, and I'd love to see everyone else here post something similar. Let's get some critical mass here and force the FDA to listen. Here's what I posted, you're welcome to steal it word-for-word. You can also "like" it here.
And if you don't know what's going on, please join CASAA.org and get involved. The way these regulations are written, we could lose everything in two years. If you are a vaper, your future is at risk.
This is the post:

This is a personal vaporizer (aka e-cigarette). Because if it, I haven't smoked a cigarette in almost a month. They've gotten a bit of bad press lately, but the science is pretty clear - they are MUCH safer than smoking and they help people get off of the cancer sticks.

The FDA has recently proposed a new set of regulations for electronic ci...garettes that could be disastrous to anyone who relies on them to quit smoking. There's no question that regulation is necessary, but the ones that they're proposing will push small businesses to bankruptcy and hand the industry over to big tobacco. They will eliminate the advanced devices that have been so successful at helping people quit smoking and restrict the market to the low-quality junk you can buy at the gas station, effectively eliminating their value as a tool to quit smoking.
The FDA has spent 3 years writing these proposed regulations, but have only given the public 75 days to comment. Right now, the current and ex smokers in your life need your help. Please follow the instructions linked below to ask the FDA to give e-cigarette consumers more time to respond to the proposed regulations. I'm not asking anyone to object to the regulations in any way, just to please help us ask for more time to state our case. You could be helping to save your loved ones from their addiction to cigarettes.
