Uma Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Time is running out. We have to act now! Please write your representatives. CASAA.org has the info on this, who your rep is, tips on how to phrase your concerns, how to oppose the nazi bill. ALSO, there is a site that needs our input, called SFATA. Just answer the questions laid out, easy peasy. Doing both, maybe we'll pull through this fire just fine. Hurry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradb2014 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) well honestly there isnt going to be a way to stop them completely from regulating it...they are losing too many tax dollars now from the 14-20% of smokers that switched over in the nation (and that number grows daily). The only thing we can try to stop is how much they tax it and how much they regulate it...please understand asking your congressmen/senator to stop trying to regulate it period will only fall upon deaf ears...they need their 100k yearly bonuses and 300k yearly salaries and will not get it if all our tax dollars go to these online shops and everybody quits buying big tobacco products.

Wow, is it really 14-20% of smoker who have switched? I know smokers make up around 20% of the general adult population. So if your figures are correct, that's huge. I agree with Uma we must do anything and everything we can. Uma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 WE WON THE BATTLE!!! Copied and pasted from CASAA UPDATE (8/14/2013): Today's hearing on SB 648 before the Assembly Committee on Government Operations was canceled just an hour before it was set to begin. Word on the ground is that SB 648 is dead until at least January. Those in California should continue to respond to this Call to Action Ever vigilant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
