Why YOU should join CASAA - Total BAN on Vaping sales to ADULTS: STOPPED by CASAA yesterday

[zoiDman]

...

His crusade is to ensure that vaping is regulated identically to tobacco-burning, and it's very personal with him.

Maybe he receives Campaign Monies from Groups who's interests are better served in a Highly Regulated e-Cigarette Market?

Google "utah paul ray cigarette" and take a look at the articles. I don't dismiss the possibility that he's sincere. He may be merely ignorant and/or stubornly unable to understand that what he's doing is counterproductive to his own expressed (personal) desires.

I generally assume people (even politicians) aren't corrupt(ed) unless/until proven otherwise.

Besides, taking such a stance just makes tactical sense: it seems to enhance one's credibility in the eyes of disinterested observers.

I shall join this group once I'm not at work. Gotta support as much as I can.

I believe that the phrase "Sincere Politician" is somewhat of an Oxymoron.

But with Everything, I'm sure there can be an Exception. No Matter How Remote the Possibilities.

My wife is a CASAA member, and she doesn't even vape.

Why YOU should join CASAA

I think Everyone should consider Joining/Donating to CASAA.

But I also believe that it is NOT ENOUGH to just send CASAA $40 or whatever. CASAA can Only do so Much with what they Have to work with.

What I would like to see is More People getting ACTIVE.

Write your Local/State/Fed Reps. Start a Petition. Make Flyers with Links and take them to you Local B&M. Contact MD's and Health Professionals and ask them to send a Letter to Policy Makers. Post to Social Networks. Comment on Anti e-Cigarette Articles. etc.

I have the Upmost Respect for the Work that CASAA Does. But they Can't Solve All the Bans and Restrictive Policies on their own. People need to Get Active.

Your first sentence would be improved by making the above change.

ECF members of CASAA can also make CASAA more effective by volunteering within the organization, so their efforts can be multiplied. Nothing wrong with individual efforts but they are not as effective as group efforts.

National American - and often world-wide - trends start in California.

And recently an entire Californian municipality tried to BAN the sale of vaping hardware COMPLETELY TO ALL ADULTS.

Meh. Ho hum.

Maybe you live far away. It can't happen to you, can it?

Think again. Early "smoke-free" ordinances were common in California, long before they spread to other places: they started as indoor smoking bans in government buildings, extended to private businesses (regardless of what the owners wanted), and then moved to bars, hotels & restaurants.

Then the prohibitions moved OUTSIDE on to SIDEWALKS, PUBLIC PARKS, ENTIRE college and university CAMPUSES, military bases, industrial parks, bus and train platforms, airports, and multi-unit residential buildings.

Don't smoke tobacco? Doesn't matter then.

Oops ... as I'm sure you well know, "smoke free" now means "vapor free" in many places. (And California contained many "early adopting" governments and private businesses.)

***

Recently, for the second time in the U.S., an ALL-OUT BAN on the sale of vaping equipment and supplies to ADULTS was proposed in the City of La Mesa California. (The first time was the FDA's attempt to ban it in 2009.)

Yesterday, La Mesa's ban was STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS by CASAA - the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Assn.: La Mesa considers ban on e-cigarette sales | San Diego Reader

Imagine if La Mesa had passed its ban. It could very easily have spread throughout California faster than a brush fire, migrated to the US East Coast, and then arrived on your doorstep, just as the tobacco smoking bans did (which were soon followed by draconian taxes and regulation - soon to be extended to vaping).

Oh, so you get your vaping stuff over the internet? Do you seriously think that won't be stopped, just as it was with analogs? Guess what - Canada has already done it, and California is considering it: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-shipment-e-cigarettes-anyone-california.html

And that is Why I worded it the Way I Did.

Cool!

Think if Every One of those Members could get 10 of their Friends to Write a State/Fed Rep or Sign a Pro e-Cigarette Petition?

And then if Every One of the 10 could get 10 More.

You wouldn't want to be definitively encouraging the support of CASAA.

I don't Like Ramming things down People Throats.

If someone wants to Join CASAA, Great. But if they Don’t Want to Join CASAA, that is Fine Also.

That's a fair point. I would rather have a spirited smaller membership than a larger, but sedentary, one.

Your 'conditioning' is nearly complete...

I find your posts on the proposed ban in CA quite "ramming".
