Advocacy News
If you've been to the shop lately, you've noticed some changes we've implemented due to new FDA regulations which begun on August 8th. For example, sampling is no longer free (although, the $1 we charge goes to help advocacy efforts) and manufacturers can no longer introduce new products unless they were already on the market by 8/8. We're limited to what we're allowed to state about vaping (although the sources are freely available to find online). We are also no longer allowed to provide hands-on assembly (although we can talk you through all of it).
This is just the beginning of what will be the slow complete shut-down of the vaping industry over the next few years -- unless there is a ground swell of action by vapers throughout the country. There are two pieces of legislation that we need you to ask your congressmen and senators to support. Consumers for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association
(CASAA) makes it very simple for you to write a letter -- just enter your zip code and it will go to the right people. Visit
www.August8th.org to learn more and send your letter today.
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer and hope you have a relaxing Labor Day weekend!
All the best,
Cheryl & Chris
