Aside from being greeted with this message, website users will be also given the opportunity to support the efforts of SFATA, as well as CASAA and R2B Smoke-Free. These three organizations are at the forefront of the battle to save the vaping industry and its consumers. Those who wish to extend their support can do so by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the message, and those who do not, may access the website normally by choosing the “Continue to site” option.

Anyone who wishes to be part of this initiative may copy and paste this code on their website :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://vaporshark.com/fda_alert/fda_alert.css" type='text/css' />

SFATA is urging people to take action stating that “the time for complacency is over” and reminding all those in support of vaping that at this point it is imperative for all interested parties to join forces in an effort to safeguard the industry and most importantly its consumers on whom the FDA’s deeming regulations will have a catastrophic impact.
