THIS IS AS URGENT AS IT GET PEOPLE . . .



URGENT: NEW YORK STATE TRYING TO BAN E-LIQUID SALES TO ADULTS!

As a customer of ours, we try to not overfill your email inbox with messages. However, we knew you would be interested to know that a critical vote will be taking place in the New York State Assembly very soon on a bill that would ban the sale of e-liquid to adults in the State of New York! 

No, you did not read that wrong. Prohibitionists in the New York Senate want to make it a crime for a business to sell e-liquid to New York adults. This bill has already passed the New York State Senate and needs to be stopped either in the Assembly or by getting Governor Cuomo to veto it. 

As a company, we believe that electronic cigarettes are a smarter alternative for smokers to traditional cigarettes.  We oppose measures that would punish adult consumers for making that smarter choice. We hope you would take this opportunity to educate your lawmakers that e-liquid products are a positive both for the New York economy and the welfare of smokers looking for an alternative.

As a consumer of electronic cigarettes, you know better than most that these products are NOT tobacco, are NOTHING like combustible cigarettes, and that cost and full access to them are important to you.  YOUR story must be heard by the legislators to make positive change, so make sure your voice is heard!

HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP THIS BAN

(1) Call or E-Mail Your New York Assembly Rep. IMMEDIATELY

We need vapers to immediately call or e-mail their New York State Assembly representative and ask them to vote NO on Bill A09309.  Please respectfully let them know that you are a user of vaporizing products, that you vote, and that you will be looking to see how they vote on this bill. Furthermore, let them know that this will ban tens of thousands of e-cigarette products and put 100+ businesses in the State of New York out of business almost immediately.

Find out who represents you easily by going to this page on the New York State Assembly’s website.

Please note that phone calls will have the most impact.  This vote could come at any time so please act ASAP!

(2) Call or E-mail Governor Cuomo and Ask Him to Oppose the E-Liquid Ban

Please call Governor Cuomo at (518) 474-8390 or message him using this webform to ask him to publicly OPPOSE enactment of A09309 or S06939 for the same reasons as listed above.

This is the biggest threat that has faced vaping nationwide in several years. New Yorkers need to take action NOW to save this industry, its current consumers, and smokers who one day might switch to vapor products.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

A THIRD CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL US VAPERS

CASAA is one of the best organizations around for protecting our rights to vape. To a such degree vapers in other countries wish they had an equivalent organization representing them. With that said when CASAA says they need your help, please do so. At present the number of respondents is low so this is critical that you get involved.http://blog.casaa.org/2014/06/third-call-to-action-for-fda-proposed.html

If you think it's okay to shine this off, I want you all to take a look ... 
  • At what your vaping with right now
  • What devices you are using
  • What flavors you like
  • What strengths (MG) you are using
  • What atomisers you are using
  • And how many choices you have with all of the above currently through online and local vape shops

Then go to your local drugstore, supermarket etc .. take a look at the e-cig offerings. That will be your choices if this deeming FDA regulation goes through. You will be lucky to find anything as high as 18mg in a prefilled cartridge, and your flavor choices will be either Tobacco or Menthol... yeah reality sucks :(

With that said they will be marketed in a way that puts cigarettes over vaping, and with lower strengths that will help keep you from replacing cigarettes permanently with vaping. At the prices they charge, vaping will no longer be a way to save money.

This isn't fear mongering... this will be the reality of doing nothing, and we all will face it. Big Pharma & Big Tobacco both need you to continue smoking, that is how they make money... and vaping unravels that. Once in full control of the market you will be at there mercy, and at the mercy of the politicians both industries have bought off. Of which there are many, we all know how that goes.

Please do get involved and help CASAA with this before it's too late!!! http://blog.casaa.org/2014/06/third-call-to-action-for-fda-proposed.html
