FDA and HR2058

Quick project today, Please complete the CTA (Call to Action) put out by those hard working folks at CASAA Support HR2058 (click here). Time to project small businesses all across the USA and your right to vape, and the right of millions of smokers to try vaping as a tool to help them win the battle to quit smoking!!!!!!

 We can't win if we don't try. It is time to turn our attention to the FDA.

Learn a Little, Share a Lot

Sometimes I find myself tongue tied when I have to speak or write a letter or make a phone call. I listen to misinformation about vaping being passed around and my mind goes blank. I think I need to make myself a little cheat sheet of counter points, the truth, so I have it handy when I need to refer to it. I've been working on that project for a couple of days, and then I ran across this blog post by Aspire "17 Untrue E-cigarette Myths BUSTED" (click here) and it covered some of the points I was trying to cement in my head for future reference. Go ahead, give it a read, share the link with others. We could all use a little more truth in our lives!

Loving all of us discovering it is easy to be an advocate!

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

Here is their facebook page: Think Again Pierce County on Facebook

Here is Pierce County Health on Twitter: Pierce County Health Remember to use: @TPCHD

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! (Local, State, National, or World)

The Vaping Militia
CASAA
NOT Blowing Smoke
AVA
SFATA

Wishing you all a smoke free day!

We All Have a Story To Tell

Today's project: Tell you story. You can tell it to someone in person, you can post it on facebook, you can tweet it, you can type it up and save if for the next letter writing campaign. Stories / testimonials are a powerful advocacy tool. You're vaping for a reason, and maybe your reason will be the one that some smoker needs to hear to get motivated to quit smoking.

Have a great weekend!
