Most of you probably know about the FDA proposals that will cripple this industry and bog the people making all the hardware and e-juice we enjoy down in red tape paperwork and regulations. There is a website freetovape.org that has organized a way for all of us who depend on this industry to have our voices heard. Please visit the site and click on the take action tab at the top. There is a short questionaire to fill out (takes a couple minutes tops) and a place at the bottom to put in your own comments and or a personal story. After you fill this out the people running the website will fax copies of your form to your local congressional representative and your senator along with special committees weighing in on these issues. In addition to these steps they will print out a hard copy of EVERY submission they get and hand deliver them to the FDA before the public comment deadline of july 9th. This is an amazing way to have our voices heard and it takes five minutes of your time PLEASE do this and help do your part to fight for our rights!

I was just there. It's wonderful to have people out there supporting vaping by making a site like this
Yes it is I'm really glad that they made it so simple. I'm hoping that as many people as possible hear about this and take the time to make themselves heard
Marc411 I am not sure but from what I understand this does not affect your membership status with CASAA. I saw videos on youtube from all the most "popular" vaping reviewers and while they are all CASAA supporters they are also promoting this plan of action. I don't see how it can hurt anything
No, thank you Zombie hunter! We can't be heard if we don't speak up! Spread the word please
I just filled this out. Quick and easy. Everyone should do this. It will only take a couple minutes.
Just filled it out.
I do want to add that people should also be active at the local level. I live in Los Angeles where I am starting to see vape shops on every 5th corner, but we have recently had 3 cities (City of Los Angeles, Gardena, and Manhattan Beach) pass ordinances equating vaping to smoking and banning it in public areas. Manhattan Beach defines this as beaches, parks, city streets, and even parking lots of public shops and restaurants.
These ordinances are passed by a handful of people on city councils, without any kind of vote or referendum from the residents of that city. The reasons range from "perception that it is smoke" to "can not prove it is beneficial". It is a bizarre world we live in where products can be banned not because of harm, but because they can not prove they are good for you
At least one of the Los Angeles City Councilmen said that the public is becoming more approving of vaping, so they must ban it now while they can.

I've looked everywhere I could on the internet (including the CASAA website) but can't find any official statement from them on whether they are or are not supporting freetovape.org and if not why.
No doubt once the government gets involved everything will get screwed up. The government sees the growing popularity of vaping and dollar signs flash in their eyes. Once the government gets involved the price of vaping will go up. They will start taxing it excessively like they do tobacco and alcohol.
I'll be doing my part with free to vape as soon as get home from work.
