In reply to the discussion: Do smoking bans apply to e-cigarettes? [View all]Its a constant up hill battle with the ANTZ, big pharmacy, big tobacco.
Seems we are fighting everyone, this issue is also very political. The states and feds will loose so much in taxes as people move away from smoking. So really they dont want a item that will help that, for the last 10 years they have been happy with the high failure rate of the NRTs, their programs were still being payed for with tobacco taxes, but in the last couple years they have seen a big drop since the e-cig has been shown to work, people that use e-cigs by word of mouth getting friends and family to use them and they have spread like wild fire. BD are loosing sales, BT are loosing sales. So yea we are fighting a huge battle. We have won in many states to keep laws to a minium. We agree with not selling to minors. We dont believe with taxing like they are analog cigarettes.
We spread the word with truths and facts. and hope we can get rid of some of the ignorance associated with e-cigs. We find we are combating lies and more lies being spread by many. ANTZ, ALA, WHO, CDC, ACA. A few of them get donations from BD like the ALA.
We do have many Drs and lawers on board. People that use the e-cig come from all walks of life, young and old, all political beliefs, all religious beliefs, rich and poor, all races. Smoking is a common problem no matter what anyone believes. And we need to get more people away from smoking. I would think they would put politics/money aside and work in getting people to stop. Most people that smoke will continue even if they are expensive, they just take the money away from something else, that is what I did.
The e-cigarette works, I am living proof.
