If state and Federal government keep passing more laws and regulations trying to deter vaping, i feel you are actually hurting people by taking away a form of harm reduction. I smoked for 35 years, tried quitting many times just to fail. I tried cold, turkey, the first electronic cigarette, Nicorette, patch, and so on. I am happy to say i haven't touched a cigarette in almost 10 years. Vaping worked for me. Not just vaping but vaping flavors like bubble gum, grape, green apple, and others. within weeks i didn't hack at night while sleeping. My lung capacity has increased. I still vape and vape flavors, but if all this gets to be inconvenient then I and many others would end up back on cigarettes. If you really care for your constituents you will say no to making vaping less convenient. Thank You

Coming from a former smoker, I can say without a doubt vaping has added years to my lifespan as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. To be clear Vapor isn't healthy, rather a significantly better alternative. I support strong parameters to restrict underage vaping, smoking etc. Please reject HB682. Thank you

5 YEARS AGO I DISCOVERED FLAVORED NICOTINE JUICE & ELECTRONIC VAPE DEVICES. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON SAID PRODUCTS THROUGHOUT THE UK & OTHER COUNTRIES. I WAS A 34 PACK A DAY SMOKER OF MENTHOL CIGARETTES, FOR 34 YEARSI WAS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT MY BREATHING WAS AUDIBLE 3 ROOMS AWAY & GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY! I BOUGHT MY FIRST VAPE MOD & JUICE & I QUIT SMOKING THAT DAY! MY BREATHING IMPROVED INSTANTLY! I HAVE HAD CLEAR LUNGS & CHEST XRAYS SINCE QUITTING SMOKING & CHANGING TO VAPE JUICE. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! IT SAVED MY LIFE
