PACT Act Forces White Cloud to End All Online U.S. Sales
White Cloud Electronic Cigarettes, a stalwart in the vaping industry, will end all online sales for U.S. customers on March 26 at 4pm. In a post on its Facebook page, the vapor company stated that it will continue to fill international orders (the vape mail ban is for U.S. customers) and will post a list of retail stores that will still carry White Cloud products.
“This was not a decision we wanted to make, especially after putting so much effort into submitting our PMTAs to the FDA and ensuring our products never reached the hands of minors. But, after spending the last couple of months searching for a solution to the vape mail ban, we’ve reached the end of all possible options and there is simply nothing we can do to continue shipping domestically,” the post states. “We will be fulfilling all U.S. orders until March 26, and inventory is running out rather quickly, so we urge you to place an order as soon as possible to ensure you’ll have a chance to stock up on your favorite White Cloud products for the last time.”
The company asks that vapor industry advocates send a message to Congress, as well as support the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA), an advocacy group to raise awareness and protect consumers right to access reduced harm alternatives. CASAA has organized a campaign to fight the U.S. mail ban.
“CASAA has been made aware that some lawmakers are refusing to acknowledge the validity of organized consumer campaigns, and are insisting their constituents contact them directly via their website,” a recent CASAA statement says. “Therefore, CASAA is recommending that you also copy and paste your comments from our form below to the contact form on your lawmaker’s website. You can find their website by using our Legislator Lookup tool.”
