I smoked for over 40 years. I tried a few times to quit cold turkey and always failed. A friend told me about e-cigarettes. It was one of the smaller brand, with didn’t look appealing. I found out about a vape shop and went in with a few questions, and exited with an eGo Twist! I later got a Vision Spinner, expanded my vendor list to include a place that just makes ejuice, nice selection of flavors to choose from. It’s been about nine weeks now, and I thoroughly enjoy vaping with no desire to go back to using tobacco products. No more morning mucus, no tired feeling after walking a couple of blocks, and I’ve even lowered the nic dosage from 18 to 12 to 6 mg. For me, it’s become more about flavor than the nic rush. How’s THAT for progress? I might even end up using on a 0 mg blend before long. Regarding regulation and behavior: true, I don’t want to see kids who have never smoked getting into the habit. I still go outside in public, as I realize that some people don’t understand it’s only vapor as opposed to smoke, so I respect that and it’s easier than getting into confrontations all the time. So long as they don’t get on my case about vaping, I don’t have an issue. You follow your road and I’ll follow mine. There’s also common sense to follow in storing the materials, like keeping them out of reach of small children, but that’s something for parents shouldn’t need to be told, as they should exercise caution with any household product. What are you going to do, ban the use of bleach? Now I hear the FDA has a long and lengthy list of proposals to regulate to production of any and all vaping products, to the point where it would be impossible to the small to medium-sized vendor to exist, due to the application procedure and related high costs. Nine weeks ago, I declared myself free of Big Tobacco, and now it seems that only the big companies will be the only ones with enough money to go through the applications process! Product would skyrocket, with the tobacco companies thinking they have a captive market. I prefer to deal with smaller companies, anyway; there are enough corporate giants out there, as it is. I gave up a nasty habit, and got a nice hobby in return. I can vape to my heart’s content in the privacy of my home. I appreciate the content that a lot of guys like Grimm Green or Indoor Smokes put out there on YouTube. It seems there exists a grass-roots community out there in support of getting off tobacco, and having some fun as well. And now, the FDA and Big Tobacco are in bed together with an agenda that will threaten all that I have just described. So my question is, what else can I do to voice my support, and send a message to the FDA, asking that these Draconian proposals remain just that, proposals and nothing more? Can someone please tell me? Thank you for reading.
