Unified Vapor Battle Update: Dec 20
FROM THE VTA BOARD OF DIRECTORS on the Unified Vapor Battle Update: Dec 20
On December 11, 2017, VTA along with the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (“CASAA”), the American Vaping Association (“AVA”), and the Smoke Free Alternatives Trade Association (“SFATA”), issued our Unified Front Letter to the vapor industry advising that the time was close to step up and support our call to action to change the predicate date, as part of the pending FY 2018 Appropriations process.
That same day, the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association (“AEMSA”) announced that it had taken a remarkable unilateral action that directly conflicted with the will of the overwhelming majority of the vapor industry. Specifically, AEMSA announced that it sent a letter to House and Senate leaders in the United States Congress, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, directly attacking a legitimate and important legislative strategy that VTA and every other advocacy organization has been pursuing for the past three years. In so doing, AEMSA purported to speak on behalf of the entire vapor industry in declaring to Congressional leaders that it would be a mistake to change the predicate date, and claiming that our industry doesn’t need additional short-term relief. In sending their letter, AEMSA demonstrated a complete disregard of the powerful Members of Congress who have graciously stepped forward to champion our industry.
In an effort to mitigate whatever damage AEMSA’s letter may have caused, we were pleased send a Unified Vapor industry letter, from VTA, AVA, CASAA and SFATA, encouraging our Congressional leaders to do the right thing and change the predicate date. Here are examples of the Unified Vapor Letter (House) and the Unified Vapor Letter (Senate) that VTA’s team delivered to the Hill on December 14, 2017.
Individuals and groups may disagree on policy and strategy. However, nothing gives one group license to undermine years of important relationship building and issue building in Congress simply because it has a “strong belief” in another approach. Similarly, nothing justifies one group tearing down a legitimate legislative strategy that could be enormously beneficial to small and mid-sized companies right now, based on the notion that they have a better idea and might be able to secure something better at some point in the distant future.
So, if someone tells you their way is better, if they promise a “permanent” fix, if they tell you that they can solve your entire problem, or tell you that they are going to take vapor out of the Tobacco Control Act, that’s great. Just make sure you ask all the hard questions like, what is the strategy, who is the team that will execute it, how are you going to generate support in the House and Senate, and where are the funds coming from to make it happen? Absent answers to these questions, you are just being offered ideas and words.
To that end, our fights are not ideological and not hypothetical. They are real, they are present, and the clock is ticking. Effective advocacy requires that we engage in strategies that can bring relief to our industry, engage in battles that are winnable, and that we build on prior success. Our industry does not have the luxury of hope. We are in a pitched battle and if we are repeatedly distracted from singularly focusing on our real enemies, we’ll wake up one day with a basket full of beliefs but no believers in government.
As we look forward to another year, we invite all of you to join our continuing efforts to level the playing field and secure a bright future for the vapor industry in the U.S. by working simultaneously with Congress and the Administration. For more information on why this one prong of our multi-pronged strategy is important to small, mid-sized and large companies alike, please read our Changing the Predicate Date Summary and FAQ.
Thank you,
VTA Board of Directors
Note from J.G. at VapeSling LLC:
This vape news Article brought to you by VapeSling® LLC subscription with the VTA.
This and all groups who continue the community VapeFight will be supported past, present and future by VSLLC. All Vapers and Vape Industry want is fair regulations. Presently, the FDA regulations have been written in a aggressive and unfair manner. The requirement for PMTA has no merit in it’s application, rather for the industry to collapse in financial burden. All items introduced should face a regulatory means for safety and consumption. The comparison would be Ketchup and Fancy Ketchup: 1 Ketchup PMTA is good for all variations in flavor. Why not with Vape E-liquid?
Happy Holidays to all VapeSlingers and Vape community! Our last CTA page for the year 2017. We hope you have found this page helpful. Please let us know. We welcome feedback on CTA and/or VapeSling® products. Reach us anytime on the contact page or [email protected], or [email protected].

Take Action – Send a Message
Today, Congress will consider a continuing resolution (CR) that will fund the US government through January 19, 2018. Although this CR will not contain changes to the appropriations language that addresses vapor products regulation, it is an important opportunity to send a message to Congress that we are still here and that predicate date change language must be included in the 2018 budget.
Sending this message to Congress is even more important now in the wake of rogue efforts by some in the industry who don’t understand the need to modernize the 2007 predicate date. Their fundamental misunderstanding of the Cole-Bishop language in the appropriations bill (Sec. 753) is creating confusion among our supporters and eroding relationships that have taken years to build.
Help us show Congress that we are unified in our support for changing the predicate date to August 8th, 2016 and that we are in favor of reasonable regulation that preserves consumer choice.
Take Action – Send a Message
Thank you & Happy Holidays!
CASAA Legislative Team
Posted 12/19/17
From CASAA president, Alex Clark:
In 2013, when I made the switch from smoking to vaping, I took the first $80 I didn’t spend on a carton of cigarettes and made a donation to CASAA. Today, I’ve donated a similar amount through #VapesGiving that I’ve saved by not smoking this week.
Even though #VapesGiving is focused on encouraging industry stakeholders to step up to the plate (i.e., “Manufacturer & Distributor Challenge”), anyone can contribute. As an added incentive, Naked 100 is matching donations dollar-for-dollar up to $190,000.
That means your contribution will be DOUBLED!
$5 = $10 | $25 = $50 | $50 = $100!
Every little bit makes a huge difference for CASAA, AVA, and the more than 20 state association participating in the VapesGiving event. If everyone who receives this email contributes just $2 through #VapesGiving, we can raise more than a quarter-million dollars for advocacy efforts across the country!
Please join me by contributing even the one or two dollars you saved today by not smoking.

UNITED FRONT
Today, leaders of the vapor community came together to present a unified front on the next steps for moving our agenda forward in Washington, D.C. The Unity Letter, signed by the leaders of the American Vaping Association, the Consumers for Smoke-free Alternatives Association, the Smoke Free Alternatives Trade Association and the Vapor Technology Association asks every member of the vapor industry and broader community to get ready to act!
Dear Members of the Vapor Community:
We write you today as a united front because the vapor industry is under attack and the future remains uncertain. We are all focused on the critical mission of making sure that Americans will continue to have access to the full range of vapor products that millions are using to quit smoking and improve our lives. We need your help to achieve this mission.
We all agree that there are short term and long term policy changes that must be made to ensure a robust vapor product industry in this country, but we are focused today on a near term step – Changing the “Predicate Date” in Congress – which will allow all products on the market before 8/8/2016 to stay on the market and remain available to consumers.
The US House of Representatives has passed an appropriations bill which contains language that would modernize the 2007 predicate date for products newly deemed to be tobacco. But the Senate has not included similar language in its version of the bill. These two conflicting pieces of legislation will be negotiated in Congress in the near future, and we are going to need EVERYONE to weigh in!
In the coming days and weeks, we will be reaching out to our respective members with additional opportunities and guidance on how you can engage with your two Senators and your Representative and urge them to modernize the predicate date for vapor products. We hope that when we call on you, you will take a few minutes to ACT to save the vapor industry.
Thank you!”

Your voice matters. Even if you have already reached out to your Members of Congress to Stop the Vape Ban, today is a perfect day to reinforce your previous message!
An email to your members of Congress is great – but a social media post may be even better! Elected officials pay attention to their constituents’ social media posts and comments. ACT NOW by tweeting your legislators!
We have made it easy for you to contact your Members of Congress via our website. Let them know you want to stop the virtual vape ban. The FDA deadline delays don’t stop – but merely delay many vape products potentially being pulled from the shelves.
Visit the Stop The Vape Ban site now and let your Members of Congress know TODAY how important this issue is to you by tweeting them or sending an e-mail!
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Stop the Vape Ban Team

This summer, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new plan for vape regulations that extended some compliance deadlines.
However, not all deadlines were extended! There is a big FDA deadline nine (9) days from now (September 30th) for all e-liquid and device manufacturers to register their establishments and provide a complete listing of products. Failure to comply with this registration and product listing could result in unregistered products being pulled from the shelves. For more information, follow this link to FDA Deadline Info.
And as these deadlines approach, we still need to let Congress know that we support a common sense solution in H.R. 1136, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017.
Even if you have already reached out to your Members of Congress regarding this issue, this would be a great time to reinforce your previous message! Visit the Stop The Vape Ban site now and let your Members of Congress know TODAY how important this issue is to you by sending an email, making a phone call and tweeting.

Stop the Vape Ban, write your local News
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new plan for regulations that extend some compliance deadlines. The good news is that it gives the vape industry more time to prepare for the looming application deadlines.
The Bad News is that it doesn’t change the onerous and burdensome premarket tobacco application (PMTA) that will still lead to a virtual vape ban. Unfortunately, these regulations do not lead to a solution that will save the industry or the right to vape. Additionally, there is also no change to the controversial “grandfather” date of February 2007.
The majority of vape industry businesses cannot afford the PMTA process. Many will have to close their doors. Your favorite vape products will be off the market. Jobs will be lost.
Help us Stop The Vape Ban and show your support of H.R.1136, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017. Writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper can have a huge impact. These matter to your Members of Congress – they read them! Please click the link below and provide us with a few details, and we can help.
In addition to the very important letter to the editor, you can also let your Members of Congress know how important this issue is to you by calling, sending an email or tweeting.
Thank you for your continued support!

P.S. The “Letter to the Editor” section is one of the most widely read parts of most newspapers. A published letter can be VERY effective in alerting others to take action.

This summer, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new plan for vape regulations that extended some compliance deadlines.
However, not all deadlines were extended! There is a big FDA deadline nine (9) days from now (September 30th) for all e-liquid and device manufacturers to register their establishments and provide a complete listing of products. Failure to comply with this registration and product listing could result in unregistered products being pulled from the shelves. For more information, follow this link to FDA Deadline Info.
And as these deadlines approach, we still need to let Congress know that we support a common sense solution in H.R. 1136, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017.
Even if you have already reached out to your Members of Congress regarding this issue, this would be a great time to reinforce your previous message! Visit the Stop The Vape Ban site now and let your Members of Congress know TODAY how important this issue is to you by sending an email, making a phone call and tweeting. We’ve made it easy for you to act.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Stop the Vape Ban Team
Stop the Vape Ban, write your local News
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a new plan for regulations that extend some compliance deadlines. The good news is that it gives the vape industry more time to prepare for the looming application deadlines.
The Bad News is that it doesn’t change the onerous and burdensome premarket tobacco application (PMTA) that will still lead to a virtual vape ban. Unfortunately, these regulations do not lead to a solution that will save the industry or the right to vape. Additionally, there is also no change to the controversial “grandfather” date of February 2007.
The majority of vape industry businesses cannot afford the PMTA process. Many will have to close their doors. Your favorite vape products will be off the market. Jobs will be lost.
Help us Stop The Vape Ban and show your support of H.R.1136, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017. Writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper can have a huge impact.

The Australian government has yet to allocate any resources to study this ground-breaking and newly discovered method of stopping smoking. My guess is that even though the success rate of this method is yet to be measured, the big wigs in Parliament are most likely discussing the best ways to tax and profit off this creative solution if it’s going to stop people buying a packet of cigarettes. If it doesn’t help people quit, I’m sure the cancer council and WHO will promptly endorse it.
Please note if you try this method, to my knowledge only beds have been tested. It’s safe to assume large ottomans would work like a bed but no testing has been carried out on couches, armchairs or lazy boys yet.
It’s clear many Australians have completely lost hope and exhausted all their options to give up smoking tobacco. While the ban on ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems) continues, it seems only fitting to turn to other more convenient healthy alternatives like chaining yourself to a bed.
Having to chain yourself to a bed to avoid the temptation is almost like a scene from the Exorcist. Only this time instead of casting the devil from this woman, this woman is casting out the satanic, mind controlling and very seductive packet of “Winnie Blues”.
Say what you will, but I do feel for this woman, she has woken up, she wants to save the people she loves from the aggression of withdrawals, mood swings and colorful four-letter words. But most of all, she wants to be a healthy mother and watch her daughter grow before her addiction claims her life prematurely and she becomes a preventable statistic.
I’ve been there myself, I was a heavy smoker and for a long time thought I loved smoking. No doubt part of me always wanted to stop and I did try to quit several times but I had no control and was consumed by my habit. I’d most likely still be smoking and would have never stopped if it wasn’t for e-cigarettes and vaping. I haven’t looked back and it’s changed my life for the better but most of all, it’s improved my health.
Given the UK’s government has now officially endorsed vaping as a viable alternative with one person switching to vaping from smoking traditional cigarettes every four minutes on average, it’s astonishing that our incredible country is denying its people nicotine E-liquid. Instead they are forcing people to either buy nicotine online in small quantities, risk mixing it themselves, or try kicking nicotine with zero nicotine E-liquids.
Vaping has been proven to be at least 95% Healthier and much cheaper than smoking. The number of smokers in Australia rose by over 21,000 between 2013 and 2016 despite prices continuing to sky rocket, 2.4 million Australians continue to smoke.
This extract from the Daily Vaper via ABC news sums it up perfectly;
“Basically, I’m a criminal for quitting smoking the only way I could,” Alison Paul, a smoker for 30 years who recently quit using a vape, told ABC Australia in July. “There’s many people, particularly older people, who aren’t willing to break the law to be vaping nicotine. I’m firmly of the belief that the Government has got people’s lives in their hands right now.”
It’s time for Australia’s policy makers to listen to the facts and show that public health and the lives of the Australian people do in fact, matter to them.
Wake up and smell the vape Australia!
Much Love,
ROG
