(CASAA is unable to issue full Local Alerts--way too many of them and there simply isn't the time or manpower to gather contact information, etc., especially on a short timeframe. However, for a while, we're going to take the barebones information that crosses our desk and post it on the official CASAA Facebook page when possible and here on ECF, and then look to members to share in appropriate groups/forums.)


Edited to add link to Local Alert issued by The vaping Militia, which contains contact information: http://thevapingmilitia.org/local-a...co-owned-buildings-defines-vaping-as-smoking/
