Once more into the fire...

Okay, so it's likely that there will be many more trips... but...

So it looks like another trip to Sacramento is in order,,, SB648. As you probably know, it was amended to be a common sense restriction on vending machine sales to prevent minors from purchasing electronic cigarettes… something that both vapers and industry can support. It also removed language that would have defined electronic cigarettes as “cigarettes”. This did not sit well with groups that want limit electronic cigarette use by applying all of the pre-existing anti tobacco laws and regulations. Well, those groups have been pressuring the bills author (Corbett) and the bill is due to be read in committee on Wednesday August 6th. We can only assume that there will be some changes. At this point we don’t know what changes were made, but we need to be prepared to oppose or support any changes, depending on what they may turn out to be. At the very least, we will be displaying support for the vaping community and industry as part of the voting public.

If you can make it… The bill will be heard at 9:00 AM in Sacramento at the State Capitol, Room 4202.
