Since this is a heavily USA leaning forum, I am suggesting a country forum with sub-forums of different countries on all things vaping related either specific to that sub-forum's country and/or places fellow vapors outside the US in the same country can network especially politically on vaping issues but even just personal meetups.
Maybe regional like state/province or even local like city sub-forums can be considered after seeing how the country forum works.
I don't know if the specific country sub-forums should be either staff or member created. I guess a member can message staff to create a sub-forum for a country that doesn't have one rather than have multiple sub-forums on the same country created by users.
Since it isn't technically a country but severely affects vaping politics, I will definitely recommend an EU sub-forum in addition to sub-forums for countries within the EU. The UN might be another non-country that could have its own sub-forum since they do or will affect vaping politics.
