The White House has developed a way for We The People to help communicate to The White House.

I know this petition is new, and may or may not have been mentioned around Vapor Talk. If this is a repeat I apologize. If 5,000 people quickly sign up, and vote in favor the White House agrees to look more seriously into the petition. This petition is for PVs/ electronic cigarettes to be recognized as a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.

Quote from .gov site :

Recognize electronic cigarettes as an effective alternative to smoking and support job creation in this new industry.

Electronic cigarettes have just begun to capture the attention of the American public, 24% of whom are regular cigarette smokers. This new technology has shown promise in reducing the adverse health effects associated with smoking, while delivering an experience that can satisfy the cravings which make quitting so difficult. It's no secret that smoking accounts for nearly $100 billion dollars in healthcare costs annually- not to mention the productivity lost when smokers fall ill or pass away due to smoking related diseases. The administration's support for this emerging technology would pave the way for reducing the societal costs of smoking, while creating jobs in a new sector which has grown significantly in the past two years. Support job creation and deficit reduction by signing now!

Kudos for deciding to make the switch - you've just begun an exciting journey! Let us know what is or isn't working for you and you'll receive plenty of sound advice moving forward. Always keep in mind that if you discover an aspect to vaping that isn't working for you there is always a fix for it. Vaping is much more customizable than traditional tobacco ever was.

Congratulations! It really does feel amazing. All that is required is the want to quit, and even then without it I think it can greatly help some cut down on their cigg intake. After my 3rd day I feel like I'm in the clear. Only wish I did it sooner as well

Thanks Jen! I've been looking into so many liquid vendors and all that haven't quite been keeping track on the forum. I really feel like this is going to get me off ciggs for good. There is something about vaping that is SO much more satisfying, enjoyable, the flavor. The list goes on and on. I'm almost positive in no time, analogs will completely discust me. In a very short amount of time, somehow, it boggles my mind how, regular ciggs already taste nastier then they did yesterday.

I'm likely going to mention this elsewhere if an Admin doesn't see it. I saw a great idea. I know VT has good connections. This news needs to be sent to suppliers so suppliers can let their customers know too!! I voted, i'm tweeting this crap like crazy. Twitter seems dumb, but post something enough a lot of people will see it. Trying to get other people to support it but i'm not THAT much of a twitter head....

Its important people vote, but as important people get the word out. Maybe i'm just a passionate person but this just seems so so imporant.

*I have never ever Vaped before just thought I'd add that*

For about two hours right after my E-go charged i simply could not put it down. It was so much fun! Granted the cartridges that
came with it tasted more or less flavorless i was enjoying it so much it didn't matter. Figures I buy 2 packs today and Ta-Da
There is my e-go on the counter. It took a few minutes to get the hang of. Charged rather quick for me, maybe 20-30 minuites. I'm
thinking it may have been tested before shipment so there was a partial charge. So far it seems like everything is working!
So thrilled with Liberty Flights right now. I was skeptical and concerned with it being cheap but so far so good. To me it feels
very much like smoking but not as "harsh". I find it really refreshing actully. I was afraid the hits where going to suck.
After getting the ego out of the box, and examining the cartidges. I put my lips to one and gave it a go. "Oh No" I thought.
I was so wrong! Amazingly that itty bitty hole really does pack the vapor punch. It was such a good time seeing how big i could
vape. I used that first cartidge preety fast! The stuffing began to come out, go into the atomizer so that's when i figured
"Ya that's done now". I ran upstairs excited to show my Mom. She took a couple drags but both made her cough. Willing to give
it a go when her allergies arn't as bad. My very first pull on the E-go getting it right, i coughed too. I was like "Whoa!! it does work!"
After a few attemps of no vapor i figured out i had to keep my finger on the button while i inhaled. I also let my brother
try it 4-5 times to see if he could like it. He was really critical about it, but that's just his personality i suppose.
He didn't think it was much of a comparison to smoking. Maybe when i get more flavors I can try to change his mind...

Now, satisfaction after eating with the E-go. Not too bad. Not the same but tolerable. Throat is getting a little irritated
now after vaping almost 2 hours straight. Who woulda thought? Slightly wanting a cigg, but I got that off my mind
after going to work out. I notice I'm coughing a little more vaping after eating. I'm sure in a couple days that will go away.
Loving Vaping so far!

Alas, a trip to the Mall using the E-go. Nobody really noticed, or if anyone did they didn't say anything. I also took it to a
local smoke shop. Vaped in front the guy. He was selling some E-ciggs but none as snazzy as my E-go! I could tell be was impressed.
If i absolutly must i may pop by there for a juice as mine needs to "age" about a week.
Overall my first day with the E-go has been awesome. Since about 2pm no cigg! No cravings! ( okay drinking iced coffee right now i gotta be honest i kinda want one. Until i order more i hope this Fluval will work up some magic with at least some of the juice i have right now untill i get cartomizers. So that was my first day ever with my E-go and vaping. Already in 7 hours of being smoke free im feeling fantastic. I can
breathe! Its amazing to think sticking with it, things can only get better for my body from here on out. I gotta say the E-go really truly is, something amazing. At least for me!

Thanks Uma. Just trying to help get the word out. I saw on another e-cigg forum a member was wondering why aren't vendors informing customers about this. Knowledge is power after all. I'm sure if all e-cigg customers know they would want to speak up.

I saw this in e-cigg news, but there's not a lot of traffic there. I wanted to know from an Admin if suppliers/vendors are aware of this and are informing their customers so more people vote no. E-ciggs are the little guy so I think getting the word out is huge. Really curious if vendors are doing anything to try to stop this.

""Legislator(s) are wanting to double the tax on cigarettes and tax eCigs the same as cigarettes. Can you imagine paying 10 bucks for a tiny cartridge? (the rip-off vendors claim that a cart is the same as a pack of cigs remember).

Vote NO!!!

Here is where you vote: http://www.govtrack....?bill=s112-1403

This explains what they intend to pull: http://thomas.loc.go.../z?c112:S.1403:

QUOTE: Other Tobacco Products- Any product not otherwise described under this section that has been determined to be a tobacco product by the Food and Drug Administration through its authorities under the Family Smoking Prevention and Control Act shall be taxed at a level of tax equivalent to the tax rate for cigarettes on an estimated per use basis as determined by the Secretary.'.
