Call to Action 10th April 2015
How You can help promote Vaping this week:
1. Downloading a poster which explains what the TPD will do to vaping next year (spoiler alert – it’s bad!) Print a copy off and take it into your local vape shop – chances are they don’t know the half of it.https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2xdhzyilrpadby/Nothing.pdf?dl=0
2. Tweet to the BBC using #BBCAskThis The BBC say that they will put a selection of the questions to candidates from all political parties. You could ask for their views on ecig regulation.
3. If enough people write to/message/email or tweet their respective General Election candidates it will raise the profile of vaping at the election, and let them know vapers’ opinions on Article 20. Use YourNextMp (https://yournextmp.com/) to email your local General Election candidates to ask for their views on vaping. You could use our sample email for ideas –https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ciem1ujgtd82tw/Email to Candidates.doc?dl=0

It is unprecedented that a department of public health is directly and unreservedly lying to smokers and vapers about the risks of e-cigarettes. Their campaign is based on a lie: e-cigarettes are equally harmful to tobacco cigarettes. It is a fear-mongering, intimidating, mis-informative and propagandistic campaign by an organization which is supposed to protect public health and provide truthful and valuable information to consumers about health issues…..
