To: The White House against vape flavor bans.
Stop the White House from banning flavored vape juice.
Vaping has been around for 15 years, and popular for 11 years. Vaping is proven to be 95% safer than smoking cigarettes.
The recent incidents of vaping Illness has only begun in the last few month. Logic and reason dictate that something else is causing these illnesses and death.
Vaping has saved the live of over 14,000,000 people who have used it as a cessation tool. Vaping is shown to be twice as effective as all other cessation methods combined. Vaping flavors is a major component to the success of this tool. Without flavors, we would be driven back to smoking traditional cigarettes.
Mr. President, Senators, and Representatives, we ask you to regulate the sellers of vape products as diligently as tobacco and alcohol. Punish parents, distributors, and sellers for targeting minors. Please do not punish the legal adult vapers who rely on vaping for our health.
We thank you for your consideration and look forward to voting for pro vaping legislators.

Why is this important?
1. It’s safer than smoking: Just ask the Royal College of Physicians. They’re a prestigious organization representing over 35,000 doctors worldwide. They have stated that vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking based on their extensive research. Since there’s no combustion, tar or ash associated with vaping, switching to it from smoking enables the user to experience health benefits from being smoke-free. That means better oral hygiene, skin health, circulation, lung capacity and an improved sense of smell and taste.
2. No noxious odors: One of the biggest advantages of vaping is that you and your environment won’t smell of smoke. Vaping may have an aroma from the flavors used, but it’s not the smoke from dead tobacco leaves! To some people, the smell of vapor is barely noticeable. Sometimes you might even get a few complements on the aroma. Even if you vape tobacco flavors, it won’t smell like the rank fumes that come from burning tobacco leaves.
3. Control over nicotine intake: Vaping gives you full control over your nicotine dosage. E-juice is available in a variety of strengths, ranging from nicotine-free to high-strength nicotine. You can choose exactly how much nicotine is in your vape, if you decide to use any at all. Most vapers tend to start off with high nicotine levels, and gradually work their way down to lower levels, or eliminate it completely.
Banning flavors for vape devices will only cause minors and adults to resort back to smoking or to start smoking tobacco products, which is more harmful to your health, than vaping, which has been proven.
No illnesses have been linked to legal, nicotine vaping products. Yet lawmakers are taking sweeping actions with unintended consequences. Vitamin E Acetate and illegal additives purchased from the black market are the cause for the epidemic. Why ban flavors for vape devices, when vaping isn't the issue? Makes no sense! Your targeting the vaping industry for something that is out of their control. Why not go after the illegal parties responsible for the sales of illegal items purchased from the black markets, such as (Vitamin E Acetate)? Banning flavors will NOT stop people from vaping. Go after the culprit that's selling the illegal additives to minors. Don't destroy the vaping industry just because you have a theory. Let's be realistic here.
Vaping helped save my life. No illnesses have been linked to legal, nicotine vaping products. Yet lawmakers are taking sweeping actions with unintended consequences...
In September, investigators with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office raided a home being used to manufacture and distribute cannabis oil.
Law enforcement confiscated more than a thousand “Dank” packaged vape cartridges, which have been connected with the recent spate of vaping-related illnesses and deaths around the country.
Despite growing evidence that these illnesses are the result of vaping illicit products – like the ones confiscated in this raid – state and federal lawmakers continue to target legal vape products with bans, like the ones imposed in Michigan, New York and Massachusetts.
But why won’t lawmakers and public health officials be honest with the public about what’s behind these respiratory problems? Why continue to point fingers at legitimate products like the ones sold at chains of vape shops in the U.S.? And why are officials not considering the unintended consequences of their impulsiveness?
Illnesses involved THC, not nicotine
Alabama reports its first vaping death on Oct. 2. The death toll across the nation now stands at 17.
The hundreds of illnesses – and now twelve deaths – associated with vaping are alarming. But the overwhelming majority of these cases are the result of individuals vaping products with THC, the psychoactive drug found in marijuana.
None of the cases reported have yet to be linked to legal, nicotine vaping products. And it’s unlikely they will.
Despite this, lawmakers are taking sweeping actions that are likely to have serious unintended consequences.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker announced a public health emergency and a four-month statewide ban on all vaping products in the state. California announced that residents should stop vaping right away.
And, of course, the Trump administration has declared it will move to ban all flavored e-cigarettes. While politicians want to show a swift response, these bans are going to have the wrong effect.
Nicotine e-cigarettes can help smokers quit.
E-cigarettes are a critical form of harm reduction. The Royal College of Physicians found e-cigarettes to be 95% less harmful than smoking. And e-cigarettes are nearly twice as effective at helping adult smokers quit than other nicotine replacement therapies like patches or gum.
In fact, some hospitals in the United Kingdom have started making available e-cigarettes to patients as an alternative.
Nicotine e-cigarettes have been on the market for a decade. Had they truly been a danger to users, it’s fairly likely a serious respiratory illness would have emerged before now.
