As noted in an article posted on Only In Bridgeport, this move parallels flavor ban legislation currently in the state legislature.
Now is the time to take action. We are providing talking points below to help you personalize your messages to lawmakers. Please take this opportunity to make contact with your local officials and urge them to reject this harmful law.
- Urge your council member to reject the flavor ban ordinance, which would restrict your ability to use low-risk alternatives to smoking.
- Briefly, share your story about switching to vaping and what role that flavors play in helping you live smoke free.
- Note any health changes you’ve experienced.
- Briefly, discuss what losing access to a local supply of vapor products will mean for you (Will you shop out-of-state, in neighboring cities, or online? Will you make your own e-liquid at home or purchase products on an underground market?).
- Be brief, be kind, and say thank you 🙂
