Membership Benefits include:
Lobbying
Lobbying
We believe that before the FDA is allowed to expand its Tobacco Act jurisdiction to vaporizing products like e-cigs, the agency should be required to demonstrate that it has a credible scientific basis for concluding that whatever the health and safety risks they perceive e-cigarettes to have are comparable to the well-known and thoroughly documented health and safety risks of tobacco smoking.
For this reason, SFATA engages highly respected lobbyists to ensure the interests and concerns of the electronic cigarette industry are heard and addressed.
Advocacy
SFATA firmly believes a proactive approach is imperative for industry representatives to actively participate in a dialogue with the public, local communities and the FDA. SFATA provides tools to mobilize your customer base at the grass roots level; helping promote education and bolster industry support.
We interact with regulatory agencies to try to mitigate over-regulation brought on by lack of education. We provide alerts to state and local bans and legislative challenges in order to influence intelligent decisions and partner with consumer groups and other allies whenever possible.
How does it work?
SFATA meets its legislative, regulatory and campaign goals through membership dues and donations. Dues are based on self-reported annual revenues and are paid yearly.
