How to get some publicity for Vaping ?

[Blownupdolly]

As I said before (can't remember where as theres so many threads) I feel the word ECIG needs to be dropped. Now that the media has latched on to that name and relates it to cigalikes people in general will now automatically think that's what we use and that's all we are about, which, we all know couldn't be further from the truth.

The Americans have been Vaping longer than the Uk, so just a had a quick look over there, via the net that is..
www.vapersclub.com/aboutus.php    just the first to come up on google.

Crikey that's a good organisation. Looking at what they do, is a bit daunting.

Excellent example. Not really daunting. I think uplifting. Nothing stopping the UK vapers getting as organised as that.

I was chatting to Elfish last night. I don't know her real name, but she said she was listening to LBC the other day and one of the female presenters admitted she was a vaper on air! She said that the device she uses looks nothing like a cigarette. I am going to find out her name and email her for advice. Dont ask don't get is my motto. She will obviously have a lot of media contacts.

I'm not sure I remember that from Clive Bull's show but if you can let me know which show it was on and which day, I can download the show and upload the relevant part it as I'm already a subscriber to LBC podcasts.

Hi lemental

It wasnt Clive Bull. She said it was one of the female presenters during the daytime. I will contact her to confirm exactly when it was

Yes, it is mentioned at the beginning of this thread/post.

No probs Lynxkat. It's not important where I posted.

However... Your page is very well laid out. Only one thing amiss....Bluefish holding his knob

well i have just been down our local pub, talkiing to a guy with a lookalike but he had given up stinkies last september and the landlady who had been using an ecig for few months and fully supported them, that was amongst a quite a few that i have drummed up some support from in one afternoon, unfortunately said landlady is leaving next week otherwise she said she would support me in approaching the local newpaper

I am just kind of waiting for some leadership to come along .... or are we going to have to do it ourselves?

Yes, do it, or you may wait forever for someone to speak on your behalf. Your Local Newspaper will most prob just give you a call, now and then.

Let me give you an example, of what I am trying to get across. When Ian organized the EEAC Carlisle Meet, he featured in a pre publicity pic and article, and I passed on his contact details to a reporter friend of mine to speak to him about the AAEC meet. When all the latest news surfaced, who did they contact for a local opinion, Ian of course. And who will they contact in the future, for any other News Breaking Stories, for a local opinion, Ian.

Sorry, Should have read,"News Breaking Vape Stories".

Blownupdolly I've looked through LBC tweets and it was Petrie Hosken's show on 15th June.  She's quite cynical about the MHRA and their motives.   I'm part way through editing the podcast so that it only includes the conversation relating to smoking.

Can a mod please confirm that it's OK to upload it to dropbox for anyone who wants to listen to it?  I'm assuming it will be OK as there are loads of youtube clips of LBC that have been uploaded for years and haven't been taken down.
