To All Concerned Canadian Vapers and to the Vendors Who Closed Their Doors - Please read

Point is, whats so dangerous about e-cigs? I would love to know, show me some statistic that support that e-cigs have caused anything except better health in ex smokers. Show me deaths caused directly from e-cigs, show me harm to others that are around vapors. You cant show me hc because it doesn't exist now does it?

That's what I say, too. Surely with all of this "unregulated dangerous use" of nicotine liquid WORLDWIDE (particularly with the bulk of it coming from "evil China) that anti-ecig voices would have loudly trumpeted illnesses and death caused by it. Goodness knows, 3/4 of deaths now are directly attributed to smoking already, so where's the literature regarding ecigs hazards?

I think there will always be visitors to our profile page and we should assume they are friendly. I have checked out a few profiles myself just from being curious, or getting a bit of extra info on who (or whom) I was chatting to. I am a newbee and already there have been 15 visitors to my profile page.......Lets not become too paranoid otherwise they might as well shut down the Canadian forum, and this is our only way of communication. March onward soldiers, and be proud of what you are doing. It was a real achievment in quitting those darn analogs.

As of this posting, Health Canada’s full compliance and enforcement of the NHP Regulations is set for June 1 2011.

Where does this date come from?

 

[AlbertaClipper]

Where does this date come from?

I understand the date to be June 20.

His Excellency the Governor General in Council hereby fixes June 20, 2011 as the day on which that Act comes into force.

I don't want to see this thread disappear down the page - I know it kind of degenerated at the end - but it is still a worthwhile read to let fellow Canadians know that there may yet be hope for us and our vendors.

I encourage all Canadian vapers to please continue to buy from our remaining Canadian vendors, give them your support.

Let's not abandon them because we think they'll be shut down too.

Otherwise they are going to close because they can't afford to stay open. And that will be our fault - not our government's.

Okay, so "The Act" has been in place for a couple of months.... are we any closer to having meaningful communication with government? Have they stopped side-stepping their own rules at the border, or did they just make new ones? Can I let go of some of my doomsday stash?

Has anyone actually got the facts through to them...that this may not be perfect, but it is a heck of a lot better than cigarettes???

Rachel? Can you send me an email update of any progress....

From what I have heard on mine and Noizemaker's group on facebook, there is a study being conducted right now on air quality control for vapers. If anyone is interested in seeing this, come join the group on facebook and read it. It may be our only hope for Canada. Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More

This stuff should be discussed here rather than in a closet. Just sayin...

If Facebook is a closet... its the biggest damn closet I've ever seen.
Just sayin

of course it should, but no one will discuss much here. I have left questions on the board, unanswered, and I believe it is because people are in fear that HC is watching. So come on over to the group on the facebook site, things will be discussed there openly
