Our Tax Dollars Pay For What?????

By now, many of you are aware of the campaign by the California Department of Health spreading outright lies about vaping. We are so blessed that #NOTBlowingSmoke has come about and the folks over there are busting their butts to try and counter the lies with the truth. Not only in California, but across the land. I just wanted to tip my hat to those fine folks, I really like the job they are doing.

Departments of health must feel the need to copy each other, as Pierce County Washington has joined the anti-vaping smear campaign. Go ahead, say it, we are all thinking it........ UGH! Here's a video put out by the folks from Pierce County: E-Cigaretts Are Harmful - Think Again Pierce County. I don't know about you, but I'm not excited to see our tax dollars used to create such.... well, I can't think of a lady-like word, so I'll let you fill in the blank. Feel free to leave that video a thumbs down and an educational comment. :)

Then, I stumbled upon a couple of Billboards put out by these folks...........

Is anyone's blood pressure going up yet? Mine is!!!!!

Today's project is to let Pierce County know how vaping saved your life.

Here is their website if you'd like to use the "contact us" link ThinkAgainPierceCounty.com

PLEASE keep all posts to Pierce County respectful and professional. Calling them names does NOT prove we know what we are talking about. Share YOUR story, share facts with sources, EDUCATE don't ALIENATE!

Try it, you'll "LIKE" it!

For those of you on facebook, find an advocacy group you haven't participated in yet, give them a "LIKE" and then be sure you click the option to "follow" or "get notifications" so their posts show up on your news feed. There are TONS of active advocacy groups on facebook. You should be able to find one for your state and national ones. There are some for consumers and some for businesses. If you don' know of any, ask your vaping friends or at a local shop. I'll give a couple of national ones below. Feel free to leave a comment with your favorite facebook advocacy groups!

Truth About Vaping - EMERGENCY ALERT

Sometimes politics leaves me with a really rotten taste in my mouth. Current events in California is just the type of politics I'm thinking of. I get really frustrated when it's all about the money and not about the people!

Today it does not matter if you're in California or somewhere else. Today's project is to spend a couple of minutes and watch a video and educate yourself. Any one who has watched old movies has heard the expression "READY, AIM, FIRE!". Watch the video and start following the groups it mentions, and be ready for the next step. It's very true, "if it can happen in California, it can happen anywhere". It's a train we must all work together to stop!
