Last week, Klaus Kneale from Ecig Advanced joined in with the SFATA (smokeless alternatives industry trade organization) fly-in. If you’re unaware of what a fly-in is, Klaus gave us a brief explanation of what it is – “it’s something trade and industry groups often organize to advocate for a business-friendly response to current issues.”

The e-cig industry is a robust market of small, medium, and large companies, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers that exist at a town, city, state, and national level. But at the core are individuals. Many of those individuals simply want to know that their voice can be heard and their concerns can be considered. – Klaus Kneale
