Update: In light of the government shutown, this event has been rescheduled to November 3rd and 4th.

Electronic cigarette industry trade organization SFATA is organizing a national Fly-In to DC to advocate for fair e-cig regulations. The event is happening at the end of this week and Ecig Advanced’s own Klaus Kneale will be on the ground there listening in on the meetings with legislators, representatives, and business leaders.

Fly-in is the rather vague term often used by trade organizations and industry associations for a collective visit to Washington by invested parties to push a business- and economy-minded agenda. In this case, rather than arguing about the purported health benefits or risks or the still disputed science, attendees will focus mostly on the potential economic upside the electronic cigarette industry offers to the U.S. market.

And in the case of electronic cigarettes, the upside seems to be a pretty solid one. Analysts are already saying that inside 10 years, e-cigs could be a $45-50 billion industry. That’s quite a lot of jobs.

SFATA’s been looking to run and organize events like this since it launched. This is certainly one of the more important things it could be doing. The information that passes and develops during the these meeting is likely to affect, enlighten, and foreshadow the future of the electronic cigarette industry. It’ll certainly give us a better sense as to what representative are thinking about how e-cigs should be regulated.

The event is going on the 3rd and 4th. We’ll have more for you then.
