Hey Chris thanks but no thanks I'm from Ilinois and it makes me angry that there trying to pass this bill, it's just big brother that wants his cut so why don't they just figure out a way to tax me and leave me vape in peace .
If they do get it passed I will just have to go underground, I have friends in Indiana that will help me anyway so if I have to be a criminal so be it
I wish there was a number we could call. I prefer to express my opinion through a phone call rather than a message that will probably be deleted.
If they go through with this ban, then TRUST ME, I will find ways to get my e-cig supplies, and so will everybody else. If I can manage to get marijuana on a daily basis and other illegal drugs I shouldn't mention, I'm confident I'll get my bottles of e-liquid. Think about the old prohibition of alcohol and the current prohibition of marijuana, it's not stopping anyone from getting what they want, and it hasn't in the past! LOL I can just imagine calling my "dealer" and picking up some attys and a few bottles of liquid. But in all seriousness, these bans would move e-cig's into the underground market. We have the right to vape.
Regardless, we must do everything we can to stop this ban.
One more thing I want to add. If they go through with these bans, then more and more people will start to think that e-cigs are not effective and bad for your health. People will think that since it's "illegal" that means it has to be bad for you, because, after all, the government is always right. On top of that, I'd guess that about 80% of current vapers would not want to do anything illegal, so would have no choice but to either go cold turkey or go back to analogs. However, I'm sure that most of us veteran vapers would NEVER go to back to analogs after all the progress we've made of being smoke-free.
Here's a good question,
If, lets say, they go through with these bans, couldn't I just buy my supplies from a supplier who is from a "legal" state? If not, I might just have to stock up on e-liquid. However, I just can't imagine it being that difficult to get supplies, even if they go through with the bans. Then again, most suppliers would not want to risk their business by selling to an illegal state and lose their company.
IN A NUTSHELL,
These bans would:
-Prevent potential vapers and let them die from lung cancer
-Put some current vapers back to analogs, so we too can die of lung cancer
-Create an illegal, underground market, so anyone who keeps vaping is a criminal
-Put a lot of suppliers out of business
-Make me so very upset
