The American Cancer Society wants to hear your story how you quit smoking.

Go tell them. Just maybe it will trickle down to the FDA

Stay respectful & classy

ACS was, and might still be anti vape. They endorsed the SB bills California is/was trying to pass classifying ejuice a tobacco product so California could justify taxing it. However, this could maybe help ACS change their minds, do some objective research on their own instead of towing the anti-vape line for no apparent reason.

You can still post on the site. They are asking for your story how you quit smoking, not where you are from !

Done. Everybody should flood the web site with this.

I like to tell smokers about that story about Rat Shit found in Tobacco. Works every time.

The Facebook page was certainly a good thing to show how we all quit smoking, but
if anyone was wondering where the American Cancer Society stands on vaping, read this story, and who endorsed a tax on e-cigs.

Great to hear folks are sharing their stories there - keep doing so and maybe ACS will start giving vaping a serious look! I'd join in but I don't do bookface...

Posted my story yesterday. I do think that as others have said that vaping is potentially a much, much lesser evil then smoking. There will be studies over time that will continue to prove this fact. It's success rate as opposed to other alternatives is already established. Being Respiratory Therapist I can say that even with my knowledge, I smoked for over 45 years and only found vaping as a pathway to quitting the smokes.
