CTA: Petition, PAS, Tell your story

[diche]

This weeks Call to Action from Vapers in Power. vapersinpower.co.uk/call-to-action

3 things you can do this week to help keep vaping free.


1. Sign this brilliant petition challenging the government to reassess the introduction of the TPD article 20 in light of the recent report on vaping by the PHE www.change.org/p/uk-department-of-health-jane-ellison-uk-government-should-refuse-to-implement-article-20-of-the-tpd-in-light-of-phe-report?


2. Industry led regulation is one way of ensuring that vaping continues to meet the needs of the community. BSI PAS 54115 is now available and it is specific to e cigs and e-liquids shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030303130 The best thing about this BSI PAS is that it is VOLUNTARY. Suggest this PAS to your local vendors and if they aren't sure, ask them to watch this


3. Add your story to the growing worldwide collection. This week there are threads on forums, on facebook, on Twitter and on our blog asking for your vaping story. These will be added to an international database of vaping stories. Our stories are one of our most powerful weapons. Tell the world how you became a vaper. vapersinpower.wordpress.com/2015/08/27/whats-your-vaping-story/

My story -

I was a very heavy smoker - averaged 50 a day for many years :shock:

My breathing was laboured & I was constantly getting colds & chest infections. I'd wake up in the night gasping for breath & when I got up, I'd cough until I was almost sick.My bank balance was also suffering badly. I tried just about everything to either give up or at least cut down, but nothing worked.

I bought my first e-cig (a ciggy lookalike), over 7 years ago. I instantly cut down to on average 10 a day. After some upgrades I cut down to 2 a day & was more than happy with that. Then one day, I suddenly realised I was no longer enjoying those 2 cigs & infact, hated the smell of them.

How has vaping effected me? - it's given me my life back. I can now breath so easily, no longer wake up in the night gasping for breath or coughing my guts up when I get up. I hardly ever get a cold & no chest infections. Plus I have saved a small fortune
