NO on S. 3319 (FLAVOR BAN)

Hello. I hope this message finds you well. Flavorings are paramount in the successful relinquishment of cigarettes. Banishment of smoking comes in various forms, one of which includes leaving the tobacco and/or menthol flavors behind. Vaping allows smokers to transition away, using flavorings they actually enjoy, from the combustible media. To have the ability to receive controlled amounts of nicotine in a much less dangerous manner, while also fixating your tastes to something that ultimately tastes great, is why vaping has been so successful. After smoking for more than ten years, I'm proof that flavorings work and are necessary. I never thought I'd quit smoking. Watching grandparents suffer with lung cancer and perish, having several related health problems, and while still being chained to the dreadful habit of smoking, nothing else I tried could break that addiction. My introduction to vaping was spent trying to find adequate tobacco and menthol e-liquids that would closely resemble the cigarettes I was smoking. At that time, I was still a fairly heavy smoker. It was not until I evolved in my vaping journey that I kicked cigarettes to the curb for good. To clarify, it was not until I branched out and ventured further in depth with different flavors that something finally worked for me. In this case, the dessert and bakery flavorings completely changed my perception of vaping. It was the flavored e-liquids that unshackled me from that disgusting and deadly habit. It was then I knew that vaping would work for me. It did. I have been cigarette free for over two years and nothing in this world would make me go back to cigarettes. Vaping is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me and quitting smoking is the most positively impactful health decision I've ever made. This is my story, which should closely mimic several others who are reformed smokers. Furthermore, this has the ability of being the same story countless others have the chance to tell gra

Don't stop something can impact the world in a good way

Leave the vaping society t.f alone !!!!

Dont take this away!

Camping saved my life and is helping stay off cigarettes please don't take camping away or the flavors just make it harder for kids to get ahold of the stuff thank you

I smoked for 20 years. At one time, I would have told you (And did tell many people) that I was gonna smoke till the day that I died, that I simply didnt want to quit. But, after I watched a very close fried die an excruciating death from lung cancer, caused by smoking, thats when the seed got planted in my mind that I didnt want to die like that and that I wanted to quit. I tried for aprox 5 years to quit. I tried EVERYTHING: Cold Turkey, Patches, Chewing Gums, Lozenges, Pills. None of it worked, I ALWAYS went back to smoking. With all of that stuff, I would not even slow down most of the time. Anytime I smelled someone else smoking, that craving hit me, and i wanted to smoke. And I did! 2 years ago, a friend introduced me to e-cigarettes, it was a device sort of shaped like a magic marker, but with a tank and mouth-piece on top. She suggested that I try tobacco flavored e-liquids, since I was 1st starting out on them. I did not like it at all! I gave it a try for a couple of weeks, still smoking my cigarettes, all the while. Finally, I just gave the e-cig thing up and continued smoking my Marlboros. Later on, I ran into the same friend, and she asked me how it was going? Was I successful in my hopes of quitting smoking? I explained to her, that no, it just didnt work out. that I felt like I was smoking an off brand or generic cigarette, and that the tobacco flavored e-liquid actually just made me want to smoke more. She gave me a bottle of her preferred e-liquid and asked me to give it another shot. It was a "Blue-Raspberry" flavor e-liquid, and I immediately thought to myself:"Theres NO WAY Im gonna give up my cigarettes for this!" I took it home and tried it and I actually liked it! I found myself, over the course of about 2 weeks, actually reaching for my "pen-style" device, with the Blue-Raspberry flavor in it more and more! After about a month, I noticed that I was beginning to use the e-cig quite a bit more than i was smoking cigarettes. The only issue I fou

Keep vaping

Flavors helped me quit smoking

Stop this ban what do you think is going to happen when teens don't have a choice of vaping and switch to ciggerets. The vaping isn't the problem its the youth, there needs to be a stronger I.d regulation.

There is absolutely no reason to ban any flavors no matter what the reason if it helps quit smoking and destoying our bodies thats a good thing like working out the only people thar would want this ban in place are the tobacco companies like phillip morris and rj Reynolds and it is sad that a country would rather see kids smoking cigarettes and poisoning thems committing a slow chemical suicude rather putting some condensation in the air with a pleasant smelling fog of water vaper that so far has not been conclusive to cause or not cause any damage to thr body of either the vapor or in any second hanf form

If they take away flavors it'll push us to go back to smoking

Flavors saved my life. I've been vaping consistently for nearly 3 years. It wouldn't be possible without the flavors because if I Vaped tobacco or menthol, I would just smoke a cigarette.

I’m really praying they don’t ban e-liquid flavors. This is how I quit smoking after 30 years.

Please don’t take away my vape juice it’s become a hobby for me and has helped me and my family all quit smoking

I enjoy vaping over smoking cigarettes. So don't take our flavors away from us.

I'm a vaper who hasn't picked up a cig since i started. Boo to them trying to shut us down!

I vape

Flavors saved my life

Flavored juice is why we vape
