Vaping rights

[Dalton801]

I know this has probably been posted all over this forum but I just wanted to voice my opinions and story.
First, I'd like to say I started smoking cigerettes when I was 15 years old. I smoked atleast a pack a day, got in trouble a lot because of it, and could run a mile in 20 minutes. That's not good!
I turned to vaping when I turned 17 and of course I started with a cute little pen mod. It was purple and I had a bottle of strawberry pie. It was good but I wanted more. I slowly but surely drifted from cigerettes and put mor interest into vaping. After plenty of vv, vw mods I purchased a pegasus from my friend at 18. Boy, rebuildable a, mechanicals and rda's took me by the balls. I could never go back to vv vw.. Or even cigs for that matter. I'm still 18, turning 19 in a week. But what I'm getting at is the fact that since I started vaping, I've been happier, had more energy and breathe. And now I see FDA is proposing a ban on vaping because it's "a possible health risk.."

News for you, FDA..
Cigerettes are known to cause LUNG CANCER. Where the fuck is the ban on cigs?!

Be my guest to band vaping products when someone dies a horrible death from them, but first, you gotta ban what's been killing people for YEARS.

Cigerettes.

They just want everyone to go back to smoking and slowly kill themselves.

very simple...

tobacco = big taxes for the government

vaping = zero tax revenue

you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.

I got that, but the thing is, why not put a tiny tax on e liquid for gods sakes? TONS are being bought on a daily basis.. I know we don't want a tax on our juice but it's better to be taxed rather than banned!

IMO We are a long way from being Banned. It still might take several years for the FDA to Finish its Final Draft of Regulations. Then there will almost Certainly be Court Challenges,depending on how strict the regulations are. Finally the more Vapers That get involved in Vapers Right Advocacy,that Join Vapers Rights Organizations like CASSA and The Vaping Militia- Regional States Groups and Ask The Venders they Patronize if they are involved in Advocacy and if they Belong to an Industry Trade Group that Lobbies for reasonable regulation-the better off we will be. CASAA and The Vaping Militia Need #'s and $'s. Local Elected Officials need to hear from Vapers. Brick and Mortars can also join their local Chapter Of the Chamber of Commerce and become Involved in The Community that their business in located in.

Hmm, so our voice does matter? Maybe I should donate to CASAA, and join as many groups as possible. Cause seriously, without vape, id still be smoking cigs. This is a fight worth fighting for.

And IIMO We need to make sure that in the future smokers who want to quit have the same innovative products to use that we have been fortunate enough to have.

Very true, it's not just about us. It's also about those who want to quit. Like my mom for example. Still workin on getting her to quit!

Funny You should say that. I saw my Mom about 5 months ago using a EverSmoke or GreenSmoke Cigalike. The next day I ordered my Starter Kit from Smokeless Image.I am now refilling cartomizers for her and gave her my 4 old stick batteries. Next I am going to see if She can handle an Ego with a Mts3[as it holds 3mil of juice] Her eyesight is to poor to refill herself. But I could buy like 4 MTs3's and give Her 4 filled at a time. She only smoked 5-6 cigs a day.
