What advice do you have for someone not in Hollywood looking to get their writing portfolio in the hands of producers or agents who can sell their work?

I know you're done with the AMA but if you do log back in I was hoping you could answer a question on your political stance on a topic I care about.

Vaping. The FDA has recently taken steps to seemingly eliminate the industry except for small cigarette style e cigarettes produced by big tobacco companies. By introducing seeming regulations they have declared Ecigs as a tobacco product despite the absolute lack of tobacco. Furthermore they have forced companies to apply for pre-market applications on every product which will effectively decimate the market as each application has an estimated cost of $300,000-$1,000,000 and an application must be filled out for each device, juice flavor, nicotine ratio. It will lead to the death of a rising industry that has proven to provide a less-risk alternative to smoking and has lead to countless people giving up smoking. Furthermore those who can afford these applications will be the big tobacco companies and their vaping products which will give them a massive corner if not a monopoly over the market. It should also be noted that The UK has found vaping repeatedly to be up to 95% safer than cigarettes and has chosen to support their existence and encourage smokers to try it.

My question is what is your stance on vaping and what would you do to ensure that we can protect this industry to continue to deliver a wonderful tool to those looking to move away from smoking?
