Smoke-free air laws for vaping in LA

Save Vape Los Angeles initiative - E-Cigarette Latest News.

Just recently, the city of Los Angeles voted to add e-cigarettes to its existing smoke-free air laws. Unfortunately, this means that now vaping is effectively banned when smoking is prohibited in all areas.

People have already started opposing the vaping ban, with the most notable reaction being the letter sent to the Mayor of LA by John Madden. In his letter, he explained why e-cigarettes are not a threat to public health and asked for the Mayor's assistance in fighting the e-cigarette ban in places where smoking is prohibited.

He contends that the amendment poses a more significant risk to public health, particularly affecting smokers. He explains that outlawing e-cigarettes may reduce their effectiveness for new users who still experience cravings for traditional tobacco cigarettes.

He shares his personal struggle with smoking, admitting that the urge to smoke would hit him whenever he was outside. It wasn't until most of his friends switched to vaping that he was finally able to kick the habit of smoking cigarettes for good.

The ban on e-cigarettes may wrongly suggest that they pose the same health risks as traditional tobacco cigarettes, which simply isn’t the case. Vapes like the iJoy SD 10000 are significantly safer than their combustible counterparts.

The levels of volatile organic compounds and trace elements in these products are well within safety and recommended limits, often even lower than those found in clean air. Therefore, vaping in public areas is unlikely to impact public health negatively.

More than 200 vapers gathered in Pershing Square to attend a rally in support of the Save Vape LA initiative, sponsored by Gypsy Vapes (GypsyVapes.com). The three keynote speakers, among whom was the creator of the world's first e-cigarette in 1963, educated the public on e-cigarettes. Vapers also had the opportunity to record their own IMPROOF testimonial.

The battle for LA might be lost, but there are still ways in which vapers and people opposing the e-cigarette ban can make a difference. Join Gypsy Vapes to protest the ban and email the Mayor of LA to demonstrate your support for Save Vape LA!
