Right To Vape

There are many municipal and state laws working their way through the courts. Some are part of agendas, but (giving benefit of a doubt) some may be simply misguided efforts by politicians trying to protect the public. What would be best, would be to schedule an appointment and personally demonstrate an e-cig to them (time and resources obviously negate that possibility.)

Rather than continuing to stack chips on our shoulders, (donning our best hip waders for the inevitable pissing contests) I'd like to propose this:

As a supplier, I would like to pledge to send 25 basic 510 kits to any AG or legislators who may be proposing legislation based solely on their "understanding" of electronic cigarettes without having seen one first hand. Bill Godshall and Lacey should be able to easily fill those first 25 slots, so the challenge goes out to my fellow suppliers to pick up the slack and make similar offers.

We pride ourselves on being educated on the virtues of e-cigs. Let's take the higher road and let them see what e-cigs are. Based on the conversations I've had with several of the people leading the anti-e-cig fight, many have honestly never even seen an e-cig!

It boggles the mind, but it's true. No - not everyone will be swayed by a live demo or sample kit, but it is a small price to pay to make the effort. I am certainly willing to pony up a few kits to place an e-cig in the hands of the people (with the power to ban them) in order to know we made the effort to convince them with more than words.
