Leaving a message is easy…we do it all the time. Simply call the numbers below and leave this message:
As a New York State resident, I urge you to pass legislation to include e-cigarettes in the Clean Indoor Air Act.

When calling, you will likely just be asked for your name and hometown. If you would like, here are other talking points:
- Bill number is S2202 (FOR THE SENATE) and A5955 (FOR THE ASSEMBLY)
- Why are e-cigarettes still allowed in places where you can't smoke? The short answer is because e-cigarettes didn’t exist when the earlier law was passed.
- What do we know about e-cigarettes? That's the problem - we don't know enough. We need more research about the long-term health impact of e-cigarettes.
- We do know e-cigarettes are dangerous because they target young people, can keep people hooked on nicotine, and threaten to “re-normalize” tobacco use.
- Even more disturbing, according to a new report from the CDC, e-cigarette use tripled among U.S. middle and high school students in just one year.
Let's close the e-cigarette loophole! Thanks everyone!
