Brilliant

ETA - I've added a new label to this board - Please sign

Chrissie is there a email all members admin function?
Wouldn't normally suggest mass mailing people but there are over 8,000 people registered on the forum i presume pretty much all of which either still do vape or have vaped.
A lot might not visit the forums any longer but would still like to see this action stop the TPD and not know about this petition.

Just a thought.

There is an email all admin function & I'm more than happy to use it for something so important, I'll see what the rest of the forum staff think, first.

From the Petiton Website:

Petition update

End of Day One
Abzed.com

19 May 2016 — This has been an extraordinary day for vapers in the UK.

The petition backing Lord Callanan’s #LordsVapeVote grew like this:

0702 - one supporter
0728 - ten supporters
0842 - one hundred supporters
0944 - one thousand supporters
1436 - ten thousand supporters
2134 - twenty thousand supporters

Where does this end? It ends with a reformed Article 20. Hopefully within a month.

A lot of politicians want to help with doing the right thing. With this petition you are enabling them to hear that there are serious problems that need fixing.

Other politicians respond only to pressure. And with this petition you are also applying that.

Either way, given the current fevered political atmosphere, party leaders will not want to be seen to be ignoring the concerns of 2.8 million vaping votes who are becoming increasingly organised. The new rule of politics is vapers expect respect.

Tomorrow and over the weekend we need to get this petition growing further. If your vaping friends don’t do petitions, get them to tweet, if they don’t tweet, get them to email their MP, if they don’t do emails get them to write.

But urge them all to get involved. As @caroleartist tweeted “tell your mum, dad, friend, boss, co-workers” to take part.

We will be back with more updates on the timing of debates in Parliament and whom you should write to.

With simple objectives, utter determination and some good old fashioned unity amazing things are happening.

Wow!
I signed it yesterday.
I'm amazed and happy that so many have signed in such a short time.

[BrenD]

Has the penny finally dropped for some of the more casual vapers? Us forum dwelling types have known the score for a while, but to get so much support in such a short space of time, I can only assume that others are starting to realise how crappy things might become.

Now up to 28,817 signatures .... who else do you know that could sign???

Bit late to the party but ..... signed - now at 28,928

[nanotm]

for those that do social media you should probably link to the latest abortion to be birthed by the EU's health committee report eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=COM:2016:269:FIN&from=FR

that suggests banning VG & PG along with various food flavours in case some dastardly non licenced industry buys them and uses them ..... anyone who is into making their own homeopathic remedies or runs a small business will be hung out to dry if that goes through.....
