Wednesday, 11.19.14 - Fight for Your Right to #Vape - Daily Action Plan

___

This Thursday (tomorrow), is the American Cancer Society’s “Great American Smokeout”.  It’s a pretty safe bet that social media will be ablaze with tips and tricks to help the heathen smoking masses kick the habit.  So, let’s take back the airways.

Here’s the plan:

ACS has several national social media accounts flanked on all sides by state and local ACS cells.  Via FB and Twitter, lets take a moment to tell ALL of them how vaping has changed our lives.  Whether you quit completely or reduced your smoking, the ACS and Smokeout participants should know how we did it.  They should know there are options beyond DIY hypnosis, gimmicky NRTs, and drugs that put people at risk for suicide and violence.  They should know that vaping saves lives!

Here’s a few things to get warmed up:

• let’s leave some comments here: http://www.desertsun.com/story/opinion/2014/11/17/great-american-smokeout/19191863/

• Consider writing letters to the editor explaining how vaping has benefitted you, your friends, and your family.

• And, leave a comment on ACS’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanCancerSociety

• For background on why the ACS is no friend to vapers, please see here: http://antithrlies.com/?s=acs

Monday, 10.20.14 - Fight for Your Right to #Vape - Daily Action Plan

___

Two very different cities (NYC & PHL) with two very predictable and dangerous anti-vaping proposals on the table.

Flavor bans and Taxes will be all the rage in 2015.  Let’s keep reaching out to these cities and keep the pressure on city lawmakers to reject this harmful legislation.

Friday, 10.17.14 - Fight for Your Right to #Vape - Daily Action Plan

___

Some of you may remember the twitter lashing we gave the City of #Chicago back in January over their indoor use ban.  Now, our efforts have been immortalized in the annals of politically motivated “science”.  

• You can read all about it here: http://www.jmir.org/2014/10/e238 .

Without getting into too much detail, it’s important to point out that the authors of this study have grossly misrepresented the definition of “astroturfing” by warping it to include citizen lobbying.  Yes, there are vaping advocates here that have joined twitter for the sole purpose of participating in the daily action plan.  That’s fine, and frankly the internet doesn’t really need anymore pictures of brunch or more opinions about what so-and-so was wearing at that awards show.  If one of these tweets happens to land you a conversation with a policy maker (in any medium) then it’s a success.

___

But seriously folks,

Philadelphia Councilmember Blondell Reynolds Brown has introduced a bill that would levy insane taxes on vapor products sold within the city limits.  It would appear that the only creative solution she has found to deal with the city’s budget woes is to inflict harm on vapers and future ex-smokers.

With a flavor ban in #Massachusetts, another one on the horizon in #NYC, and now an INSANE tax on #vapor devices and liquids in #Philadelphia, it’s been an interesting week for the NE Corridor.

Lets make some noise (yes, there’s a lot of them. #notsorry):

It’s likely that next week (10.23.14) the NYC council’s Committee on Health will meet to discuss the future of eliquid flavors in New York City.  Let’s send another round of tweets to the cmte. to remind them that flavors help us stay #smokefree.

Did you know that New York City has over 1 million smokers?  Did you also know that after years of aggressive tobacco control measures that number is on the rise?  Clearly something isn’t working.  That having been said, let’s ask the NYC Committee on Health why Councilman Constantinides thinks it’s a good idea to take away smoke free alternatives from current and future ex-smokers.
