WARNING: This Product Contains Nicotine. Nicotine is an Addictive Chemical

CALL-TO-ACTION x2 for WC Vapor Customers

by WC Vapor

We're taking a moment to address important legislative changes that will significantly impact your access to vapor products and THC regulations in Virginia. With the recent passage of Senate Bill 550, a liquid nicotine registry will limit consumers to 0mg flavors starting April 1st. Additionally, Senate Bill 542 and House Bill 642 aim to impose restrictive regulations on hemp and cannabis products, making it illegal to sell even 25:1 CBD:THC edible. It’s crucial to be informed and take action by reaching out to your local representatives to advocate for your rights and ensure that your access to these products remains available.

  CALL TO ACTION #1  

1. Speak Out Against the Liquid Nicotine Registry

Virginia Senate Bill 550 has passed, and enforcement will begin on April 1st. This new law introduces a liquid nicotine registry that already threatens your access to the flavors you’ve enjoyed for over a decade. After April 1st, we will only be allowed to carry 0mg flavors of the majority of the juices that we have offered for years.

Some things you should know as a consumer:

  • Lobbying Spending: In 2025, Philip Morris International (PMI) spent approximately $6,920,000 on lobbying efforts across the U.S., with estimates suggesting they allocated between $200,000 to $500,000 specifically for lobbying in Virginia concerning significant legislation like SB 550.

What You Can Do:

  • Contact your local representative to voice your discontent with this legislation and express how it has already impacted your ability to purchase your preferred products. Your feedback is crucial to advocate for consumer choice.
  • For more information on PMI’s lobbying efforts, you can check their transparency page: PMI Transparency Standards.

Dear [Your Local Representative's Name],

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my urgent concerns regarding Senate Bill 550, which has passed and will begin enforcement on April 1st. This legislation introduces a liquid nicotine registry that threatens my access to the flavors I have enjoyed for over a decade.

Starting April 1st, I understand that only 0mg flavors of many of the juices I rely on will be available. This change has already limited my options and negatively impacts my ability to choose products that meet my needs.

I urge you to consider the detrimental effects this bill has on consumers like myself and to advocate for our rights to access these products.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

   CALL TO ACTION #2  

2. Advocate Against SB 542 and SB 642

We urge you to take immediate action against SB 542 and HB 642, bills that aim to regulate hemp and cannabis in Virginia. These bills propose measures that could dramatically limit your access to both hemp products and recreational marijuana, creating challenges for consumers seeking safe and regulated options.

  • Why Vote NO: These bills undermine consumer choice by establishing prohibitive regulations that may make it harder for businesses to operate and for individuals to access the products they want. This not only affects your access to these products but also threatens local businesses that depend on consumer demand.

What You Can Do:

  Email Template for SB 542 and HB 642:  
Subject: Oppose SB 542 and HB 642

Dear [Your Local Representative's Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to SB 542 and HB 642, which aim to heavily regulate hemp and cannabis in Virginia. These bills threaten my access to essential products that I rely on and could have a detrimental effect on local businesses.

The proposed regulations would create barriers for consumers seeking safe and regulated access to hemp and cannabis, significantly limiting product availability. I urge you to vote NO on these bills to protect consumer rights and maintain a fair market.

Thank you for considering my perspective.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
