Quite true. I realized I wasn't clear in my last post. I would not only break an unjust law, I would force my will upon anyone who would physically interfere with my ability to stand to my principles. I would do everything humanly possible to keep such an encounter civil, and only if there were no other choice would I do otherwise.
Consider the impact that vaping could have on the general non-smoking/non-vaping public. One out of every three cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented if no one smoked cigarettes. Now consider even a conservative percentage of those who will quit by vaping as long as we can keep marketing vaping to the world, and then consider a conservative percentage of those who will have quit soon enough to avoid the cancer that they would have contracted had they continued to smoke.
Now consider that quit-smoking products are marketed to everyone on primetime TV and all over the internet. As such, most non-smokers are now familiar with one or more of these products because of their ads. Chantix, Zyban, NicoDerm CQ, Nicorette, Blu, NJoy, etc. We don't need a majority of them to understand vaping in any particular level of detail. We just need enough of them to have a modicum of understanding regarding the truth about vaping so as to gain the interest of a well-known person to wave the vaping flag if only for a moment.
Most people didn't actually care very much about certain other products until Sanjay Gupta, M.D. did a program on CNN differentiating the hype from the truth, which, according to the ratings, had many Americans viewers. A modicum of understanding about vaping by a significant percentage of the population will be achieved. Then we bang on the legislators until there is enough pressure from us and the public at large to keep vaping laws reasonable.
The non-smoking majority doesn't care about vaping? True at the moment. But they will consider what may be the most effective quit-smoking method in history to be important when confronted with it on CNN or wherever, because it's THEIR loved ones who are dying from smoking.
