New York is, once again, encroaching on your rights by introducing Assembly Bill 296 & Senate Bill 722. This would make it so that the all "e-cigarette cartriges" would be considered a "tobacco product", therefore subject to a 75% tobacco tax, and refill liquids would be completely prohibited.

If you believe in your vaping rights, if you feel as though vaping has helped your life healthwise or any other way, you need to sign this petition.
We do not feel as though New York should be able to stomp on our rights. We should not lay down and let it happen. Stand up for your rights, and the rights of the vaping community as a whole.

I have finished drafting a formal letter of opposition to be delivered to the offices of the bill sponsors. My next focus is coordinating with local advocacy groups to ensure these concerns reach the remaining members of the committee.

I own a vape shop in Central New York. If you are looking to run another business out of this state then by all means pass your greedy uneducated bill. I personally have helped hundreds of people ( including those who have smoked for over 50 years quit). Anyone who has had success quiting usually uses a clearomizer which is refillable. This bill will devastate my business, my family, and thousands of people who were finally able to give up analogue cigarettes. This message will probably be ignored and if you do you will be encouraging big tobacco to once again control the market and kill people who are addicted. That by proxy would make you a murderer. And may god judge your greedy souls when you meet him! Jeff Miller, President and owner of Deep Vapors 308 Mohawk St. Herkimer NY 13350
Please, do not put this bill forward. This abolishes the most successful piece of electronic vaporizing's success in helping so many people quit Smoking. If this is passed, it will eliminate so much business in the state, likely also push many, many people back to smoking. Since this is the #2 cause of death in the country, there is no logical reasoning why these bills should be put forward. If the concern is health, there are dozens of better ways to go about achieving this, which would not hurt a great industry that is founded on people helping other people lead a better, healthier life.
Why would anyone not welcome the ecig to help all and any smoker quit. Its 600-900 % safer then smoking if you look past all the lies and propaganda payed for by big pharma
I have been using an electronic cigarette as a better alternative to cigarette s for 1 year and I'm feeling a lot healthier I do not support this bill
It is so not the same as tobacco not at all you feel sdifferent you can't smell it!

cigarettes are things of the past the generation growing up will compare them to my generation smoking a cigar the tobacco companies are losing money and that's why they're leaning on vaping companies so much.
