Thanks!

FringedOne..... out of pure and unadulterated curiosity, do you know how much of an affect these petitions actually have?
In general petitions don't do much.
But that doesn't make them useless.
:)

Well-designed and well-written petitions, like the one posted, do a few things...

1) Help raise awareness
2) Show people we plan to fight
3) Sometimes inspire people to do more

And this one in particular is useful because the author of the petition (an ECF member) is using the petition to send out updates with important CASAA alerts, which further helps raise awareness and possibly inspires some folks to do more.

I have seen some argue that petitions like these may cause people to think they've done something important and therefore do no more. I think that argument doesn't hold much water.

The one thing we have is each other and social media. No matter what happens they cant stop the huge group of diyers and modders the will continue supplying the world...plenty of countries band vaping and it seems that they have the most vapers posting pics of gear and cloud chasing online...It's just going underground if it gets to that point. Gov isn't going to side with us without taking a huge cut of the profits being made for themselves. Doctors and big pharma company's pay good money to keep pushing their trash that's proven not to work....

I don't remember ever signing a petition during my lifetime, and I am not young. But, I signed the one posted above by FringeChief. I smoked for 50 years and finally quit over 8 months ago thanks to vaping. No analogs at all since! I've lurked on ecf for quite awhile trying to soak in all I could about vaping. Thankeep you all for your help and experience. All I ever got out of smoking was COPD.

I don't believe it's going to have the effect vapers are hoping for. The public will see as a propaganda film and nothing more..It's been engrained in society that anything tobacco related is evil and dirty.
I don't believe it either.
Not only public, even I, a vaper, see it as a propaganda. Do not like its tone. It will work only for vapers, other people may see it as a highly biased opinion of some fringe group (have you seen movies about how Americans staged their Moon landings?)
