NATIONAL: (CALL TO ACTION!) Fight to Keep Vape Mail Legal! Tell your lawmakers to reject S.1253. This bill would prohibit the U.S. Postal Service from accepting packages of vapor products for delivery and raise the cost of purchasing vapor products by $15-$20 per shipment for millions of adults who don’t have access to vape shops!
Online bans may seem “reasonable” to reduce teen purchases, but only 5.7% teens surveyed vaped daily. Meaning most teens didn’t actually purchase products, but instead just tried a friend’s. And smoking rates are highest in poor/rural areas – where cigarettes are plentiful, but vape shops are rare!
US – Keep Vape Mail Legal! (Reject S.1253)
NEW JERSEY: (CALL TO ACTION UPDATE) A.3178 and S.3265 did pass in committees today but IT’S NOT OVER! This may need to pass other committees first and still has to pass a vote in the full Assembly/Senate. Keep up the pressure on your lawmakers!
