Stop New York State Ban on E-Liquid

The Issue

http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S6939-2013

This bill, and many like it, is restricitng us of the "vaping" community from our right to health! Many of us are former smokers, and "vaping" using e-liquid is the only thing keeping us from the harm of traditional tobacco cigarettes.

The "liquid nicotine" hazard that is being proposed, if at all true, is absolutely nothing compared to the nearly 4,000 harmful chemicals that are in cigarette smoke. Nicotine actually has several benefits, including the prevention of Parkinson's and Alzheimers disease. The only other "chemicals" used in e-liquid are approved by the FDA. 

The only hazard there is to e-liquid is the risk of irresponsible parenting. E-liquid is not intended for use of anyone under 18, and everyone in the vaping community disapproves of minor use. It's not meant for children. It's meant for responsible adults who are making a decision to keep away from cigarettes. Yes, there are flavors. There are also flavors of Vodka that are, again, not marketed towards children. 

Please, help retain vapors freedom!

Here's a great opposition to the New York Times famous article (which is also linked in the article itself). Give it a read.
