Show Summary:

This show is not intended to be a scary one, but I warn you, it will be. Halloween is coming and what is happening in the vape world is all trick and no treat. Everyone is focused on the FDA and of course, they are the biggest and the baddest of the group, but there are goblins and gremlins much closer to you. The FDA is just the point of the spear but there are many tha tare following their lead. Some are in your city and some are in your state capital. Even though our conversation today is about a specific proposal inCalifornia called Prop 56, it is a dangerous sign of things to come.

Today we’ll be talking with someone that many of you will know; Cynthia Cabrera, the former Executive Director of SFATANational. She has been a leader in vaping advocacy for years and a friend and supporter of ours as we have of her. Today we’ll talk about “No on 56” inCalifornia and also about another law on the other side of the country, in my old home state of Pennsylvania.
