HELP STOP MAYOR BLOOMBERG'S BAN ON E-CIG USAGE

On Wednesday, December 4th at 10 AM at City Hall (260 Broadway), the NYC Health Committee will hold a public hearing on an ordinance that senselessly bans e-cigarette use by classifying their use as smoking under New York Citys Smoke-Free Air Act. Mayor Bloomberg and other supporters of this ordinance dont want the Health Committee to hear e-cigarette success stories from tens or hundreds of vapers. After all, Bloomberg waited until 12 PM on the day before Thanksgiving to announce his intentions. Please attend Wednesdays hearing and speak out against this senseless law. However, even if you cant attend, please reach out to the legislators below. What to say:
You would like them to vote NO on the e-cigarette usage ban ordinance because it is wrong and deceitful to claim that e-cigarette use is smoking. Tell your story on how switching to an e-cigarette has changed your life and how you have greatly reduced your health risks. Explain that numerous studies have shown that e-cigarette vapor is nonhazardous to those nearby users Direct them to the CASAA.org website for more information.

So please, take out your cell phone right now and make some quick phone calls to the members of the NYC Health Committee to stop this ordinance! (You can leave a message if calling after hours.)
