Request from a member of another forum

[AnnaLaw]

A member of UKV started a thread calling for all vapers on all forums to get together and try to come up with a way that will put the good points about vaping in the public eye so that nobody can ignore us, including MEPs.

There is a request to post to other forums.

This is the thread:-

What should WE do - EU TPD and e-cigs

We can all see ECITA are doing an amazing job on behalf of this industry, there is no question about that.

But we really do have to work out what part we can play in raising awareness and coordinating our numbers.

A portion of us have and are writing letters, with some success. However, it seems that the media doesn't want touch this with a barge pole and I find that troubling.

If certain MPs and MEPs are going to unusual efforts to ignore us, then how do we highlight that? How do we put them in a position where their behaviour can't be ignored?

If it comes to it, is there the appetite to congregate in public, en masse, to at least draw this into the open and not just on the forums? How do we make ppl care or at least talk about this?

I know that many of us have a real fire in our bellies about this and with good reason. How do we utilise it?

This isn't going to go away and is still looking like ending in a way that is unpalatable to anyone who sees the value in a device which could save millions of lives.

So. Public awareness. What do we do?

Could we try and get on question time? Im not sure its a viable option or whether it would work. But it is an option.

Stop stealth vaping - let folk see you with your mod in the high street. The more noticeable the better.
No I'm not advocating antisocial behaviour, not in the Cinema, not in Schools, not anywhere that the public
would have any concerns about. Be a considerate Vapour, but NOT a secret one!
