Thanks a lot all of you. As an interesting twist of fate, today's EU vote may have been the trigger needed for this initiative to succeed! You can see the tally here . Today, we moved up by 2%!

In light of today's vote, yet, it is clear that what is needed to make our voice heard is an initiative at the European level.

The European Free Vaping Initiative may look like one among many others, like those cited in the other threads. It is also led by a disparate and informal (but large!) team, which is still struggling to get organized. Yet, there are 2 key aspects that make me believe it could be the best way to remedy the current e-cig situation:

• it is ambitious, and success will bring definitive reward: through some nice irony, we'll have this very EU legislative body just undo what it has done today, thanks to our collective effort. The outcome is *real legislation*, not just lobbying. It is a chance to get our destiny in our own hands, without the political intermediaries who deform our will.
• it is catching some serious steam across Europe: Germany is at 15% of its threshold, Finland at close to 30%, and 8 other countries are above 5%. At EVFI-France, we are preparing a major initiative coming in the next weeks to reach to *all* vape shops in France, who are primarily concerned with this vote, and propose them a package of flyers and booklets to inform their customers.
  

As soon as possible, we will have this advocacy package translated in English (it is already available in Spanish) and post it on the facebook page of the initiative.

So, signing is great, but we need more, and we lack relays. If any of you can spare a little bit of their free time to talk to local vape shops, spread the word at pubs, have your family and non-vaping friends members sign it, even if they don't vape, we have a real chance to turnover today's EU vote.

Sincerely, and have a happy vape.
