The bill has been officially dropped and our flavors are staying on the shelves. This win belongs to every one of you who spoke up to protect our right to choose. Keep your eyes on the local board agendas to make sure they do not try to sneak this back …

I want to start this out by saying cigarette smoke kills roughly 480,000 people per year. Vape smoke? A big fat 0. Now with that being said... If this bill is passed, it will take away all vape juice flavors besides Tobacco. I don’t know about you guys, but the biggest reason I was able to put down the cigarettes was because of the disgusting flavor. Vaping literally has saved lives of people who were smoking packs and packs a day and feeling like crap. We know the science behind it, and you can’t ignore that. There are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes compared to approximately 4 in vape & e-cigarette juice. Period. If that doesn’t say enough I don’t know what will. I think i’m safe in saying a huge part in the reason people switch from cigarettes to vaping is because of the flavors the juice comes in. Not very many people are going to put down the cigarettes just to pick up a tobacco flavor in another. Speaking on behalf of the vape community, we want to continue to see more peoples lives lived, and not lost... and don’t even get me started on how many flavors come in caffeinated beverages which have been known to kill for years now. Or even alcoholic drinks for that matter.
The big reason for this “BAN ON FLAVORS” is because of the SAFE KIDS ACT. Believed that because of the variety of flavors available in vape juice, it is causing more kids to begin vaping and smoking. Well how about coming up with better regulations on minors in the smoking industry? Or heavier charges on the people caught providing and distributing said things to minors? .... instead of limiting adults of their freedom and hobbies.
In order for this petition to be effective and reach the White House, we need 100,000 signatures in 30 days. Let’s do this.

I quit smoking over 7 years ago with flavored eliquid & still use flavored eliquid to this day. I'm 49 years old and never touched a cigarette again, thanks to vaping & flavored eliquid. Now I help others quit smoking with vaping & flavored eliquid.
Please do not ban flavors I understand your thoughts about the kids ban the child attractant packaging not the flavors I sm a 36 year ex smoker 12,/31/2018 Mark's 3 years bc I switched to vaping you ban the flavors you may drive vapors back to smoking
Do not remove flavoring! That’s like removing taste from alcoholic beverages; don’t see anyone trying to do that so why do it to vapers? Thanks to vaping I was able to put nasty cigs down after smoking for 30 years. I am so grateful and breathe easier.
If vape juice had only been available in tobacco flavor, I would not have quit smoking. This proposed ban does nothing to protect children. What it does is guarantee that half a million adults will continue to die each year of preventable disease.
This ban makes absolutely no sense to me. I quit smoking cigarettes using a cereal flavor e liquid. This ban has me feeling like the cigarette industry is being protected. Please don’t ban flavors, it raises so many more issues than anyone realizes.
I have not had a cigarette in 5 years thanks to switching to vaping. Leave us adults alone to make our own choices, I am a 62 year old male how is able to make his own choices for an alternative to smoking.
I was a very heavy smoker 5 years ago. Vaping helped me quit. I started at a high milligram but now I'm at 3mgs. Taking the flavors away would probably start me smoking again. Also, why is it legal for cannabis shops to sell 'cherry' flavored, star shaped THC jujubes? If anything, something DISGUISED as candy could harm and/ or kill a child.

I smoked a pack and half a day for 7 years. With the help of flavored vapor, strawberry candy liquid to be exact, I have been smoking free now for 3 and a half years, and manage a vape shop where I get to help people like me make that change every day.
