The Nova Scotia Government is imposing stifling regulations and restrictions on electronic cigarettes and our vaping privileges! They intend to class e-cigs along with traditional cigarettes, forcing vapers themselves to be exposed to second hand smoke, and classify vaping as tobacco, banning all of our flavors except menthol. This is seriously affecting our freedoms and our most basic rights not only as citizens of our country but as human beings. We all know tobacco kills, and we finally have a safer alternative to smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. The "lack of research" these policy makers claim about in fact does exist, and all the independent studies conducted seem to indicate nothing but positives! On top of that, all of the vape shops here in Nova Scotia are locally owned small businesses, run by real people who have invested their blood, sweat, tears and finances into their shops. Should this bill pass, many of those businesses, who are generating tax revenue and keeping money here in Nova Scotia, will be forced to close their doors. By signing this petition, our voices can be heard and we can retain our rights as people to live a healthier life.

We ask those of you whose lives have been changed by switching over to e-cigs/vaping and those of you who have seen family members and friends lives change by using e-cigs and vapor products to sign this petition. Pass it on to everyone you know to sign and support this cause as well, and Monday morning make a call to the NS Legislature (902-424-8941) You don't need a speech, you just need to be a Nova Scotia resident. They have to let you speak. All you have to say is:

I am (so/so) from (whatever place) and I oppose bill 60.

This is much bigger than just our rights to vape- this boils down to maintaining our basic god-given rights to enjoy a healthier lifestyle! Together we can create change, together we can create awareness, and together we can enjoy being healthier and living longer.
