That is where profiling comes in. Plenty of other things matter to other people, doesn't mean they don't vape.
Talking points, profiling, etc, along with the almost highest polarization in history, is why I tend to keep politics out of the vaping room.
I think some impact (though I highly doubt it) is if tons of folks emailed Pelosi and other Dems in the state about the issue (don't believe Pelosi is running again, so voting in next election will not matter to her).
The biggest impact is to not bring up talking points nor profiling, and email/contact the Dem Senators in your state. You might get the cookie cutter response above (which is a shame that they might not vote the same as the letter says), but at least one has tried. Dems are people too, and this thread tends to be one issue related. So, brush aside one's differences, and communicate with Dem senators, saying at end voting record matters (even if you don't ever plan to vote for them ).
I've contacted both of my Senators already. They're both Republicans, as is my Representative. I only got canned "Thanks for contacting me." responses. I ultimately feel that this tax is going to pass since it is already part of the omnibus bill. It couldn't pass on it's own merit, though. That was tried last year. But since it is part of the BBB, that has to eventually pass to prevent a government shutdown, it is highly unlikely that it will be excluded now that it has been introduced.
