St. Joseph, Missouri Public Vote On E-Cig Ban
Voters in the City of St. Joseph, Missouri will be deciding on April 8th, 2014 whether to approve a smoke-free ordinance that would not only ban smoking in virtually all workplaces, but would also deceptively include smoke-free e-cigarette use as “smoking.” We do not believe that most citizens of St. Joseph understand that e-cigarettes, which are estimated to be approximately 99% less hazardous than smoking (and which pose no risk to bystanders), will be banned.
We are asking that you (1) contact the NewPress newsroom at (816) 271-8500 and ask them to do a story highlighting the fact that use of smoke-free e-cigarettes would be treated exactly like smoking, and (2) and share information with friends and family (personally and via email and social media) encouraging St. Joseph residents to vote AGAINST the ordinance.
If you live in St. Joseph, Missouri, we ask that you VOTE against the ordinance on TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2014.
