This is tough, would this be it? To ensure the availability of effective, affordable and reduced harm alternatives to smoking by increasing public awareness and education; to encourage the testing and development of products to achieve acceptable safety standards and reasonable regulation; and to promote the benefits of reduced harm alternatives.
That quote pretty much encompasses the theory, without using the exact placement of the well-known words that describe the theory.
Educate, Donate, Take Action? I'm stumped! I can't find any one exact theory. I see many that mirror the same thoughts as each other and they are all based on educating the public and taking action.
This question may have been harder than I thought.
It appears that I assumed more people would have been exposed to this terminology.
But then I spend almost all my time in the Electronic News subforums.
I am going to give one point to anyone who posted an answer that showed the right direction.
And since you are the only one that posted an answer, that would be you!!

So the answer was Tobacco Harm Reduction...
And that's three points for you Spartan!
And since I don't want to run a contest that discourages others from playing, I'm going to call this one over.
So Spartan, you win an order for $50 worth of juice!!
I will send you a PM tomorrow.
And I will annouce the start of the next contest within the next few days.

Thanks! I have been keeping up with the news since I've been in the contest(yay for your goal working!) and I've read a lot of interesting things. I can't to my knowledge remember seeing any constant phrase being used but of course once you tell us I'll notice it everywhere, LOL!
Just wondering, did you tell people about this contest in the new members section? I saw more people here a few days ago but nobody now Then again I have my alarm set to 10 minutes before the question posts

Information from the first question of the first contest period
Well, in order to understand where things stand with electronic cigarettes and the issues that we face as vapers, it is necessary to understand some of the history. It is necessary to understand where we've come from, and what we have overcome so far, in order to have a solid understanding of where we are heading and why.
So, the first question is about what might have been.
There is a landmark case in electronic cigarette history that, in essence, prevented what would have been a de facto ban on electronic cigarettes. In this case, the FDA was prevented from any further efforts to confiscate electronic cigarette shipments based on their insistance that they were unapproved drug delivery devices. The judge ruled in this case that the companies that sell electronic cigarettes do not claim to be selling a quit-smoking device, but rather an alternative to tobacco cigarettes.
Here are a couple of links that can bring you up to speed on the history of this case...

I haven't even gotten past this first "fact finding" section & I'm P*%SED! (I just read the links.)
Where the H#LL is the ACLU on this? I thought this was supposed to be an organization that stood up for the civil liberties of the American citizens? I have a right to vape if I want to!!! I'm not harming anyone (but maybe myself & I feel better than I have in the last 20 years. Quit smoking over a month ago. 40+ yrs of analogs.) Oooo, have the 10 Commandments posted somewhere, or a cross in a national park that has been there "since God was a child" (my DH's saying) and the ACLU is jumping all over it.
Sorry for the rant, but I am MAD

YAAAAAY, I WON!!!! Thanks for the contest, it has been fun. Tobacco Harm Reduction huh, well that was pretty easy but I would have never gotten that, lol. Also, I'm not just blowing hot air when I say this but I will continue keeping up to date on current events regarding our community, something I learned from participating here. There are a lot of things that I've learned in regards to how e cigs work as well bs laws(what's new) that the government are trying to pass. Being that I work in health care, Ive always had an interest in learning the true effects that vaping has on our bodies. I have seen many things about that and new research is being published all the time. I can't wait until the day we have solid proof of the actual health effects of vaping.
I'll be following all of your future contests, just for fun of course, and I'll do my best to help spread the word and get people participating here from the other section of the forums. Thanks again and good luck with everything, I'm going to go plan my juice order!

Darn, I missed this contest altogether. Hope DC2 does this again. It looked like fun.
I'm definitely going to do at least one more contest.
I'll see how it goes and make a decision about further contests after that.
I've seen some of your posts around here, and I look forward to your participation.
But I'm going to take a bit of a break, so the next contest might not start until the weekend.
Right now I'm thinking Thursday though, because I have a special question I want to ask on Saturday.
And that question has to be asked on Saturday, and only Saturday.
That's a hint, for anyone who might know what I'm talking about.
I think I might know this Saturday's question & answer already. Hmmmm. I'll be waiting.I'm definitely going to do at least one more contest.

It should make you angry and motivated to do something about it.
Being afraid and sad are signs of learned helplessness.
And that is exactly how they want you to feel.
But the point of all of this is that we ARE doing something about it.
And we ARE having an impact and we ARE changing the course of things.
And we need all the help we can get, from OURSELVES, for ourselves.
