It's time to hold bad actors accountable and close off minor access to vaping and tobacco products. Responsible retailers support strong statewide licensing. YES on HB 2682!

📣 Thank you to the AZ Senate for passing HB2682 w/ bipartisan support, 18-10. It is the strongest set of regulations in AZ history to prevent minor access to vapor products, hold retailers accountable, and ban vapor products in our schools.
A ‘YES’ vote on HB 2682 will protect thousands of Arizona jobs from local ordinances, which have shuttered businesses throughout the country. A ‘NO’ vote will allow cities and towns the overreach to destroy more locally owned businesses.
Many tobacco control experts believe it’s time to embrace a safer solution to nicotine dependence.
“I urge all of us in the tobacco control community to climb out of the bunker, come to the table, and try to genuinely work together." bit.ly/38vWVSk
Yes on HB 2682!
E-cigarettes have helped 150K Arizonans stop smoking. In an Oct. 2020 review of over 50 scientific studies, Cochrane concluded that e-cigs are 2x more effective than other forms of nicotine replacement therapy. bit.ly/3dEHKbc
Yes on HB 2682!
"We want to preserve e-cigs as one among a number of options for adult smokers and believe that fully transitioning smokers to ENDS can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco use." - S. Gottlieb, former FDA Commissioner
YES on 2682!

People who use an e-cigarette daily to quit smoking are over FIVE TIMES more likely to achieve abstinence from tobacco smoking.
“E-cigarettes are a more effective aid for quitting than nicotine replacement therapy and prescribed medication.” bit.ly/2OmjFNS
YES on 2682!
Locally-owned small businesses are job creators!
Arizona vapor businesses pay over $132M in annual wages and benefits to employees. Preserve Arizona jobs, VOTE YES on HB 2682!

A ban on flavored vaping products will cost Phoenix over 250 jobs, $14.3M in wages and benefits, $47M in economic output and $5.8M in tax revenue. And that is just from local vape shops! See the full economic impact here: bit.ly/34wYRJ8

Small vapor manufacturers cannot afford the multi-million dollar PMTA requirements. We need #PMTAReform to prevent 160K people from being out of work.

A failed Prohibition strategy is wrong for Phoenix, and will only lead to dangerous black markets, the closure of local businesses, and the destruction of consumer choices. Visit bit.ly/30rMgo2 for more information. #SaveFlavorsPhoenix
Reminder: Today is your opportunity to have your voice heard. Make sure to go vote in the #ArizonaPrimary elections today! #WeVapeWeVote
Thank you to the small business owners and consumers who came to the Arizona State Capitol today to share the positives of vaping with the media and elected officials.
"coffee can be used to sustain an addiction for life" and "I cannot tolerate the idea of people using caffeine in the long-term"
We do know who pays our lobbyist contract. It's our members. Who are small business owners? There were 103 of them at the capitol on Monday. #AZ103
@ASFAorg has spent the session attempting to lead the way on comprehensive regulation of vapor products, only to be shut down at every turn - read the letter we helped pen to our state lawmakers about this here or at bit.ly/asfa1147
Thank you to all involved in the @ASFAorg rally in support of SB1147 at the capitol today! @ASFAorg is SMALL BUSINESS and we support SB1147, and thank @NancyBarto and all the other elected officials that care about small business in Arizona!
