LAST CHANCE for action to stop the Welsh Labour MADNESS!

On 8th March 2016 Welsh AMs (Assembly Members) vote on whether to ban ecigs in (broadly) enclosed public spaces; this will probably include some outside locations too (playgrounds etc). This is obviously not based on science, its predicated on a vague worry about re-normalisation of smoking and a putative gateway effect from ecigs to smoking.

YES IT IS RIDICULOUS!!​

We need to do all we can to get the AMs to see that that banning vaping in public spaces would be a public health disaster. See this link to the Public Health Bill (Wales) for details on what they will be voting on:

For full details on the latest amendments in favour of vaping and vapers please watch the video below.




Actions:

1. If you live in Wales then please please write (soon!) to your AM to urge them to support any amendment which drops vaping from the Public Heath Bill (Wales). Write to Vape Wales is a website which has been set up to make it really easy to do this:
writetovape.co.uk/wales/

2. If you use Twitter then please tweet AMs with “I vape and I vote” and use the hash tag

Sadly, I don't think my sad-sack labour MP gives a shit about vaping,.,.

I wrote to my Labour MP Owen Smith didnt even get a bloody reply

I have exactly the same issue with my Labour MP, but over the last couple of months there has been a definite improvement in the number of people getting replies (even ones that aren't c+p'ed) Write to Vape has in one instance resulted in a vaper getting invited to Westminster for a tour and a rather productive chat. That was with a Labour MP that is fairly influential.

I keep writing and keep getting ignored, it has been suggested that I write to the MP in the neighbouring constituency complaining about never receiving a reply or an acknowledgement, which is what I intend to do this time. Apparently there is no love lost between the MP's in question. I understand people are getting frustrated with this because I'm in exactly the same boat, but every time I see something come in where a politician has listened it makes it seem worthwhile.
