Vaping advocate running on fumes..
What I do, is tobacco harm reduction advocacy. Translations, writing as an association reporter and my blog at deetwo7.blogspot.com, analyzing scientific publications, some graphic design, international relations between various organizations, fighting senseless legislation, trying to build an atmosphere where personal choices to use nicotine without smoke are not vilified and a discussion can be had on a rational basis. And I do it all for free, because it needs to be done.
However, while I am extremely hesitant to ask anything in return for my time and energy, at the moment I am on a lengthy disability as well as psychoactive medication and my financial resources are starting to require a bit of an outside boost. This is because rent, electricity and so on are on the line, otherwise I would never ask, this would cover a couple months, so I'd have breathing room with finances and hopefully smooth them out. In addition to the essentials, funds would be used for a tool for working while traveling, like a cheap little laptop.
I realize there are much more deserving and dire situations that mine, but I do feel like I need help so it's time to put this out there, after months of deliberating about this. Still hesitant enough it's very unlikely I'll promote this anywhere.
As for future work, I have a couple of research projects I'm looking into right now, which will hopefully illuminate some things in the THR discourse for better or worse. This in addition to a multitude of writing projects, including a proposal for the revamp of the horrific trainwreck that is the electronic cigarette regulation in the Finnish Tobacco Act.
If somebody did stumble on this and actually read this far, thank you for your time :)
