This new technology has shown promise in reducing the adverse health effects associated with smoking, while delivering an experience that can satisfy the cravings that make quitting so difficult

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

The Safe Cig announced their contacts at Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association have submitted a petition to the White House requesting the Obama Administration recognize electronic cigarettes as an effective alternative to smoking and support job creation in this new industry.

The following is from the petition at WhiteHouse.Gov:

"Electronic cigarettes have just begun to capture the attention of the American public, 24% of whom are regular cigarette smokers. This new technology has shown promise in reducing the adverse health effects associated with smoking, while delivering an experience that can satisfy the cravings that make quitting so difficult. It's no secret that smoking accounts for nearly $100 billion dollars in healthcare costs annually- not to mention the productivity lost when smokers fall ill or pass away due to smoking related diseases. The administration's support for this emerging technology would pave the way for reducing the societal costs of smoking, while creating jobs in a new sector that has grown significantly in the past two years. Support job creation and deficit reduction by signing now"!

Announced by the Founder of The Safe Cig, Jon Deak:

“I ask that people take a moment to sign up on The White House Web site and sign the petition. It will only take a few seconds to complete and the electronic cigarette industry will be extremely gracious for all support. I further ask that consumers take a few more moments and post the link to their Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, and email friends and family".

Deak concludes "I thank consumers for their support of The Safe Cig and the electronic cigarette industry as a whole.”

With the lengthy battle to be able to provide with electronic cigarettes, The Company asks that consumers reach out and support the continued effort to provide a viable smoking alternative while stimulating a sluggish economy through the introduction of new United States based jobs.
