Somewhere in the threads, someone posted a link to this ABC article:

5 Facts About E-Cigarettes - ABC News

When I got there to read the story, there were 4 negative comments regarding the article and the use of e-cigarettes, I posted and in the last few days positive information has been shared, and even people who have never smoked or vaped are getting in on the comments and learning more positive attributes to vaping over smoking.

Thank you for sharing this!

I would happily join in if a few uk news sites were in the list.

If you can find out legit email addresses for your area and post them, I would be more than happy to update my spreadsheet to include UK addresses. Then next year do the same thing again.

They've decided on September 3 of each year to be World vaping Day. Yay! It will now be a yearly date!

So if we can start gathering those addresses now, we can start planning next years onslaught. :D

Hey Robin... long time no chat. :)

I see that the number of mostly positive e-cig news reporting, from every type of media, has risen substantially since, oh... around Sept. 19th.

I wonder why? ;-)

And thanks for that link Elantis... I just popped off my little "affirmation". :thumbs:

Have they? I do hope that it made even just a smidgen of difference. :unsure:

You all rocked it though! :wub: Nice to see you pop in :)

Yeah. If you kept track of print and video news reports on the interweb prior to Vaping Day, and after... I'd say about a 40% increase in publications and transcripts from broadcast reporting. Just a guess... I didn't get too "mathy" on it. :)

Shiny new grand daughter and not so shiny daughter has kept me... busy. :blink:

Ah yes! Congratulations! Aren't grand babies the best! :D

That's so cool that you've noticed an increase in good press! :banana:

Not necessarily all "good press"... but any press is good press (IMO) because it gets people talking, and there are enough of us who have a good understanding of how vaping works and what's in e-juice that we can get into those conversations and defend vaping with good data and logic... instead of knee-jerk reactionism, ignorance and general stupidity. :p

I've had 2 folks address me about e-cigs in this last week because of all the press.

They both approached me in a negative way, but by the time I calmly explained the workings they were....'oh, I didn't know that'.

Of course one of them had to point out about the charger blowing up and he put the blame of that on the 'company' rather than the user......my explanation of safe charging methods seemed to calm him down though.

So yes, even in my small town, people are noticing and commenting.

If every one of us can do what you did, imagine all the minds that would be changed in favor of vaping. ;)

Good job! Armed with knowledge, we can make a difference one person at a time. :D

Robin the cheerleader.

Anyone ever cheer you... for all the extra effort and support you provide Robin?

Not enough I'm sure.... but here's a start.

Where? Any examples?
No... sorry. I don't keep records or anything. I just get a bug up my .... and started searching... and noting the dates on original postings vs. the typical numbers prior to 9-19.

A victory in the EU today. :)
Lets hope it carries over to the US.
Onto World & National Vaping Day

So, CASAA gave me the go ahead to form a committee in regards to next years Vaping day. Sooooo, I'm going to need some help. (I've never done anything like this before!). I guess since World Vaping Day is going to be the same day every year, we can follow suit.

Ideas, thoughts?

Might want to start a new thread regarding the formation of a committee.
There might be a lot of people that are no longer reading this thread.

I was planning to. I just wanted to throw this up here while it was fresh in my head :)
I'm pretty tied up for the rest of this week. (First gig is Friday ahhhhhhh! ) once that first one is behind me, I should be good to spend more time here ;)

Hi Robin!

I'd be willing to lend a hand.

I was thinking it would be great if we could get more vendors on board to promote the event, maybe even request some media coverage in large market areas. I think it would make a good human interest story ... getting off the cigs and the resultant improvements in health.

Almost forgot! Break a leg friday!!! Not literally of course ... :laugh:

I know you'll do great!
