That looks like a preemptive strike if I ever saw one. Hopefully it will get approved.

 

[LDS714]

Yeah, evidently there are a couple of legislators who've had success getting off the analogs and see the value.

I know trends and laws have been spreading fro Cali for a few decades, but let's hope this one can spread from a flyover state, LOL!

I live it Tennessee and I really like their approach to governing. If it doesn't hurt anyone why make things harder.

This post was found in an ancient ruin, possibly left by aliens.

The bill seems to have been sent to a committee. You can follow it here: Bill Summary

I couldn't find a date of when it will be considered.

I am from Tennessee and I am so proud of our legislators. If you are in TN please contact your legislators to show your support for this bill.

It was moved to the 18th I believe, which is Tuesday. Hopefully it goes well for us

I'm in Knoxville, also. I'm a member of Smokey Mountain Vapers (1,500+ members) group since the beginning. The founding member is the owner of one of our group's sponsoring B&Ms. He and several other owners and managers of local B&Ms are planning to testify at the hearing as well as Dimitris from VPLive Vape Team (Chattanooga)

I have arranged to collect donations at our local vape meet this Sunday for contribution to CASAA to aid their attendance and testimony at the Capital. Hopefully people will attend and contact legislators as I have for the benefit of our rights and freedoms!

Stand up Tennesse, or be walked upon. Join the fight or suffer from a beating. BT and BP are lobbying against this bill.

 

[reapnlife]

I'll be at the meet on Sunday. Pretty excited for my first meet. I'll definitely donate what I can

What is wrong with you people in Tennessee? Don't you care about the kiddies?



Seriously. Washington Bill defeated. Utah Bill stalled. Now this? Come on folks. I could always depend on this depressing forum to force me into a bottle of scotch by night's end. Now what the hell am I going to do? (Whatever it is... I can't do it sober!)

Excellent! I gotta say that so far the war in Hawaii has been fierce, but even as the most democratic state after NY and California, the politicos have come through very well so far, and the teeth and nails are being pulled (albeit very slowly) from the sponsoring ANTZ senator's original intentions. Woot. Way to go TN!

Get those 1,500 vapors to contact their reps. It works!

Stop by and say "Hi". I'm the guy with long blonde hair.
