com Subject: [Smokefree-Talk] Preemption Watch Bill Tracking Summary: 3/19/2010 Preemption Watch Weekly Bill Tracking Summary of U.S. State Bills www.protectlocalcontrol.org March 19, 2009 ANR tracks pending legislation relating to states' smokefree air policies as part of the continued fight to prevent preemptive legislation before it can be passed and to overturn preemption in states where it is already in place. Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. In 2010, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control. Learn how at http://www.nosmoke.org/pdf/preemptionstrikeforce.pdf. Below is a listing of state bills that have been introduced in state legislatures. Please visit the www.protectlocalcontrol.org and click on the state of your choice to view the summary, text, and status of pending bills. Please email ANR with any new information regarding pending legislation and preemption attempts in your state and we will analyze and summarize the legislation. The new and pending legislative bills are classified below into seven categories to clearly delineate which bills will protect public health and should be supported from those that should be opposed because they do not effectively protect public health, weaken a strong law, or intend to preempt local control. New bills and changes in bill status since the last update appear in bold. Strong: Bill includes 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; strengthens existing smokefree laws; or repeals preemption. Weak: Bill includes ventilation, smoking rooms, or other key exemptions. Weakens: Bill weakens a current strong 100% smokefree law. Preemptive: Bill contains preemptive language that removes the right to local control. Vehicles: Bill addresses smoking in vehicles with children present. Outdoor: Bill primarily addresses smoking in outdoor locations. Other: Bills contain other provisions and should be watched. The following states have strong bills that include 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; OR repeals preemption: Alabama: HB615 (workplaces, restaurants, bars and gaming) Alaska : HB304 (workplaces, restaurants, bars and gaming) Connecticut: SB245 (workplaces)-Favorable vote in Public Health Committee Indiana : SB175 (workplaces, restaurants, bars)-Session Adjourned; HB1132 (workplaces, restaurants, bars)-Session Adjourned Iowa: HF6 (casinos)-Carried over to 2010; HF174 (casinos and patios)-Carried over to 2010 Kansas: SB25 (workplaces, restaurants and bars)-Substitute introduced addressing different topic area; HB2221

Please visit the www.protectlocalcontrol.org and click on the state of your choice to view the summary, text, and status of pending bills. Please email ANR with any new information regarding pending legislation and preemption attempts in your state and we will analyze and summarize the legislation.
The new and pending legislative bills are classified below into seven categories to clearly delineate which bills will protect public health and should be supported from those that should be opposed because they do not effectively protect public health, weaken a strong law, or intend to preempt local control. New bills and changes in bill status since the last update appear in bold. Strong: Bill includes 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; strengthens existing smokefree laws; or repeals preemption. Weak: Bill includes ventilation, smoking rooms, or other key exemptions. Weakens: Bill weakens a current strong 100% smokefree law. Preemptive: Bill contains preemptive language that removes the right to local control. Vehicles: Bill addresses smoking in vehicles with children present. Outdoor: Bill primarily addresses smoking in outdoor locations. Other: Bills contain other provisions and should be watched. The following states have strong bills that include 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; OR repeals preemption: Alabama: HB149 (workplaces, restaurants, bars, and gaming) California: SB575 (workplaces)-Hearing scheduled for 4/13 in Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee Connecticut: HB5286 (private clubs); HB5614 (private clubs); SB00531 (private clubs); SB884 (private clubs)

Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. Now is a great time to consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control. Learn how at http://www.nosmoke.org/pdf/preemptionstrikeforce.pdf. Legislative sessions have ended for 2011 in Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Below is a listing of state bills that have been introduced in state legislatures thus far. Please visit the www.protectlocalcontrol.org and click on the state of your choice to view the summary, text, and status of pending bills. Please email ANR with any new information regarding pending legislation and preemption attempts in your state and we will analyze and summarize the legislation.

Strong: Bill includes 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; strengthens existing smokefree laws; or repeals preemption. Weak: Bill includes ventilation, smoking rooms, or other key exemptions. Weakens: Bill weakens a current strong 100% smokefree law. Preemptive: Bill contains preemptive language that removes the right to local control. Vehicles: Bill addresses smoking in vehicles with children present. Outdoor: Bill primarily addresses smoking in outdoor locations. Other: Bills contain other provisions and should be watched.

Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. In 2010, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control.

exemptions for smoking areas of gaming facilities and outdoor patios.

Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. In 2010, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control.

Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. In 2010, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control.

Legislative sessions have ended in: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. Also, 2010 sessions are not held in Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Texas. Below is a listing of state bills that have been introduced in state legislatures. Please visit the www.protectlocalcontrol.org and click on the state of your choice to view the summary, text, and status of pending bills. Please email ANR with any new information regarding pending legislation and preemption attempts in your state and we will analyze and summarize the legislation. The new and pending legislative bills are classified below into seven categories to clearly delineate which bills will protect public health and should be supported from those that should be opposed because they do not effectively protect public health, weaken a strong law, or intend to preempt local control. New bills and changes in bill status since the last update appear in bold. Strong: Bill includes 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; strengthens existing smokefree laws; or repeals preemption. Weak: Bill includes ventilation, smoking rooms, or other key exemptions. Weakens: Bill weakens a current strong 100% smokefree law. Preemptive: Bill contains preemptive language that removes the right to local control. Vehicles: Bill addresses smoking in vehicles with children present. Outdoor: Bill primarily addresses smoking in outdoor locations. Other: Bills contain other provisions and should be watched.

Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. In 2010, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control. Learn how at http://www.nosmoke.org/pdf/preemptionstrikeforce.pdf.

Also, 2010 sessions are not held in Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Texas. Below is a listing of state bills that have been introduced in state legislatures. Please visit the www.protectlocalcontrol.org and click on the state of your choice to view the summary, text, and status of pending bills. Please email ANR with any new information regarding pending legislation and preemption attempts in your state and we will analyze and summarize the legislation. The new and pending legislative bills are classified below into seven categories to clearly delineate which bills will protect public health and should be supported from those that should be opposed because they do not effectively protect public health, weaken a strong law, or intend to preempt local control. New bills and changes in bill status since the last update appear in bold. Strong: Bill includes 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; strengthens existing smokefree laws; or repeals preemption. Weak: Bill includes ventilation, smoking rooms, or other key exemptions. Weakens: Bill weakens a current strong 100% smokefree law. Preemptive: Bill contains preemptive language that removes the right to local control. Vehicles: Bill addresses smoking in vehicles with children present. Outdoor: Bill primarily addresses smoking in outdoor locations. Other: Bills contain other provisions and should be watched. The following states have strong bills that include 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars; OR repeals preemption:

Since even a strong bill can become preemptive at any point in the legislative process, it is very important to track even the best bills throughout the entire legislative session and keep a watchful eye out for all attempts to remove local control. In 2010, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force to help combat tobacco industry legislative tricks by allowing for quick and easy communication among proponents of local control.

From: Action on Smoking and Health <jbanzhaf@ash.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 8:16 AM To: Hahn, Ellen J Subject: Smokeless Tobacco Causes Heart Disease and Death
Smokeless Tobacco Causes Heart Disease and Death Nicotine Replacement Therapy May Raise Overall Death Rate
Despite claims that smokeless tobacco and other nicotine administration products such as e-cigarettes [e-cigs] virtually eliminate the risks causes by smoking conventional tobacco cigarettes, a new study shows that smokers who switch from cigarettes to one of these substitutes still have a much higher risk of death than someone who gave up nicotine entirely, says Professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH). The new study, due to be published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, concludes that "current use of smokeless tobacco at baseline was associated with 1.27-fold greater incidence of cardiovascular disease . . . than was nonuse, independently of demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle and other tobacco-related variables." http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/kwq191 The authors conclude that: "current users of smokeless tobacco should be informed of its harm and advised to quit the practice. Current cigarette smokers should also be given sufficient information on safe, therapeutic methods of quitting which do not include switching to smokeless tobacco." This is very important, says Banzhaf, because many people think that eliminating the cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke will slash their health risk, and thus may think switching is a viable alternative to quitting entirely. But cigarettes kill more smokers each year from heart attacks than from lung cancer, so even a total elimination of the cancer risk would still leave the major cause of death. This study confirms that the risk of switching rather than quitting remains a major one. From a broader perspective, another recent study shows that, even if replacing tobacco cigarettes with nicotine administration products like e-cigs or snus significantly reduces the individual user's risk of death, a public health strategy based upon promoting such products may save few if any lives, and may even raise the death rate in the total population. The study shows that, even if switching to an alternative source of nicotine reduces the individual user's risk of death, more people overall may die and public health may suffer because of two different types of population effects. http://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/19/4/297.abstract First, some smokers who would otherwise be persuaded to quit - give up all nicotine use - by smoking bans and/or high taxes will instead switch to the substitute, thereby remaining at a much higher risk than if they had quit entirely. "If lots of smokers who would otherwise quit instead switch to e-cigs, public health will suffer, since the risks of using e-cigs can be considerable," notes Banzhaf. For example, another major study showed an association between the use of chewing tobacco (which administers nicotine) and acute myocardial infarction that was 75% of the risk of smoking cigarettes. The Food and Drug Administration [FDA] has just warned that e-cigarettes pose "acute health risks," and that the "danger posed by the

unrestricted distribution of [these] unregulated products containing toxic chemicals cannot seriously be questioned." Even more serious, other smokers who might otherwise be pressured to quit by bans on smoking in the workplace may be able to remain smokers by using nicotine administration products while at work - a use for which they are prominently advertised. In such situations they not only fail to get the health benefit of quitting entirely, but also wind up as "dual users" with the combined risks of both smoking tobacco cigarettes and of the nicotine substitute product. Thus their overall health risk might simply be additive (the sum of the risks of both products) or, as some have suggested, synergistic (higher than the sum of the risks of both products). Second, some children and others who might otherwise avoid all tobacco or nicotine use will instead: (1) take up the substitute with all of its known and unknowable health risks; or (2) become addicted to nicotine in the substitute and ultimately graduate from e-cigs or snus to simply smoking; or, worse, (3) continue using e-cigs or snus but yield to the nicotine addiction and eventually also take up smoking in addition, thereby becoming dual users with dual risks. In all such cases the overall national health risk and death rate would be much higher because of the ready availability of e-cigs, snus, or other similar nicotine-administration products. Any of these scenarios increases the death rate over what it would have been if the nicotine product were simply not available. Banzhaf, who is a noted mathematician and the inventor of the Banzhaf Index, reminds everyone that different outcomes can be predicted by making various different estimates as to the relative risks of tobacco cigarettes and e-cigs, the percentage of people who would quit if e-cigs were not available, the percentage who would switch if e-cigs are widely promoted, etc. But that's why a recent study is so important, he maintains. The study actually tries to make the best estimates of the variables which must be considered; estimates based upon currently available evidence. After a careful analysis, the study concludes that overall cumulative public health risk would increase by about 25% if nicotine-administration products were widely promoted. The study focused on oral tobacco such as snus, but seems equally applicable also to other forms of harmreduction nicotine-administration products such as e-cigs. In summary, promoting nicotine-administration alternatives such as snus or e-cigs may be unwise from an overall public health point of view, even if the products are a less hazardous alternative than smoking conventional cigarettes. ASH has not taken a position on this scientific and medical issue, noting that the FDA is studying this difficult and important question with the support of many learned scientists and other experts. ASH also has not opposed the sale and use of e-cigs by adults. What ASH has opposed is the sale of new nicotine products without any FDA testing to assure safety, efficacy, and ingredient purity, limits on sales to children, protections against unfounded claims made by promoters, and their use in public places where others are forced to inhale ecig vapors which contain nicotine (a deadly and addictive drug which can contribute to heart attacks and cancer) and propylene glycol (a respiratory irritant used in antifreeze and known to cause respiratory tract infections).

The Surgeon General of the Air Force has just issued a formal memorandum warning all personnel about the danger of e-cigarettes [e-cigs], and noting that, as "tobacco products," there use is banned wherever the smoking of conventional tobacco cigarettes is prohibited, notes Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), which collaborated with the Department of Defense on developing policy related to e-cig use. http://ash.org/AFEcigMemo The memo warned that: "Advertisements claim electronic cigarettes are a healthier way to smoke but one sample tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contained diethylene glycol-a toxic chemical used in antifreeze. Other samples tested by the FDA contained cancer-causing agents yet there are no health warnings on these products similar to those seen on conventional cigarette packages." The memo went on to warn that: "No studies have been done to demonstrate the safety or effectiveness of these products as tobacco cessation aids and they are not approved by the FDA as a drug delivery device." It also noted a concern originally expressed by ASH, notes public interest law professor, ASH's Executive Director, and that is the use of these devices to surreptitiously administer drugs other than nicotine. ASH had previously reported ads for e-cigs which administer Cialis and "potent" marijuana. http://www.cigarettesreviews.com/fda-may-ban-marijuana-e-cigarettes As the Surgeon General's memo warned: "Commanders also need to be aware that the cartridges used in these devices are replaceable and could be used to discreetly deliver substances other than nicotine." Previously the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] had warned that: e-cigs pose "acute health risks" which "cannot seriously be questioned" because they contain "toxic chemicals," and the devices also "presents a serious risk of addicting new users, including children." It also said that: * e-cigarette users suffer from a wide variety of potentially serious symptoms "including racing pulse, dizziness, slurred speech, mouth ulcers, heartburn, coughing, diarrhea, and sore throat" * "nicotine [one of the two major chemicals used in the product] in high doses can be dangerous and even fatal" * the toxic chemical diethylene glycol was found in the e-cigarettes which were tested * various mutagenic, carcinogenic, and genotoxic chemicals were also present in the products * the cartridges containing the nicotine and other toxic chemicals, many of which come from China, are subject to "none of the manufacturing controls required for FDAapproved nicotine-delivery products" [like nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, sprays, etc.]. Subsequent to the FDA's warning, independent scientists have warned about additional potential dangers to users of e-cigs: http://www.newsrx.com/pressreleases/11551.html

Hi John, Ellen is out sick today and asked me to send you the attached review from the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium (TCLC). They reviewed the ordinance draft that you sent to Dr. Hahn for that purpose. For your information I pulled the description of TCLC from their website: "The Tobacco Control Legal Consortium is a national network supporting tobacco control policy change by giving advocates better access to legal expertise. The Consortiums priorities are to help make legal technical assistance an integral part of comprehensive tobacco control programs, provide a limited degree of direct legal support and raise awareness of the role of legal services in effective policy change. Within its resources, the Consortium works to assist communities with urgent legal needs and to increase the legal resources available to the tobacco control movement." (http://tclconline.org/Tclc.asp) The TCLC review is very thorough and I'll pull out a few points for your information: Provides a better definition of e-cigarettes (p.2) Gives a more concise, clear definition of employee and well as ways to simplify the definition of employer while protecting those who work for private clubs or volunteer for organizations (p. 2) Gives several possible ways to deal with outdoor "enclosed" areas so that circumvention of the law may be prevented while still allowing for some flexibility in outdoor areas that are not substantially enclosed. Offers clearer language for definition of place of employment (p.3) Raises questions and offers potential language re home offices with one or more employee and private clubs (p.3) Provides a clearer definition of Sports Arena (p.4) Offers ways to deal with duplication in the lists of public places contained in the definition and in the prohibition. (p.3) Recommends deleting some subjective language ("and customarily used by") in paragraph A of Prohibition of Smoking (p. 4) Under "Posting of Signs" recommends instead "posting of Signs and Removal of Ashtrays" and additional language that includes removal of ashtrays intended for use on the premises (p.5). Under Enforcement, offers a Section C that includes asking the violator to leave the premises, so that businesses won't avoid the law by just informing violators about the law without taking any other steps (p.6) Under "Violations and Penalties" suggested some clarification. Despite this extensive review and many helpful suggestions, the council can be pleased that there were many parts of the draft ordinance for which TCLC suggested no changes! The council is to be commended for beginning this process with a draft taken largely from the Model Ordinance. Thank you for your continued interest in the health of workers in Bardstown.

Thanks so much for talking with me by phone last Friday (1/21). Its good to hear your voice and know that you and family are well since Lily was born! I know that you wanted some more info on e-cigarettes, given that someone was using one in the Franklin Co Schools! Im sending you the one-pager (which youve probably already received), and an article and FDA report Ive received since we did the one-pager. If you need any of the references on the one-pager, please let me know. Opponents fighting the inclusion of ecigarettes in S-F laws are claiming they only emit water vapor (like a vaporizer), but they have no science showing what they emit. Some junk science has been put out there by the companies making the e-cigarettes, but those claims have not undergone peer review. Until we have science proving them safe, well be concerned that all of the many harmful elements in the e-cigarettes may be emitted into the air through the vapor or by exhalation from e-cigarette users. Let me know if you need more information and what we should plan for Franklins Year 5 Scope of Work. Thanks, Carol

Debbie, My meeting today with Deborah Wigginton regarding Tobacco Free School Policy was very positive. I have provided a recap below for your records. March 2011: BOE to approve policy. o Banners will go up at this time at the BOE advertising the policy implementation date. o Information will be placed on the BOE website and will provide a link to our website to advertise resources. Policy Implementation Date: July 1, 2011 The BOE has received $5000 from ASAP to purchase yard signs, building signs, vehicle stickers, banners, etc. Deborah is working on bids from various companies. However additional funds will be needed. Have you had an opportunity to check with Jennye Grider regarding whether or not we can use the 736 funds to assist with the implementation of TFS policy? I have $600 left in this years subaward from UK. Im checking with Carol to see if those funds can be used for this project. Deborah is in the process of putting together an Implementation Committee that would include the following: Deborah, me, 1 bus driver, 1 food service employee, maintenance employee, Superintendent (or appointee), community member and Carroll Young. She also mentioned the possibility of another health dept. employee. This group will meet here on the following dates: o March 17: 6:00 pm o May 17: 6:00 pm o June 21: 6:00 pm June 2011: o Cable 10 WOW. Would it be possible to schedule TFS policy for Junes Cable 10 segment? We were thinking that the Superintendent and one or two people from the Implementation Committee could speak. If so, do you want to set this up or would you like for me to contact Libby? o Would you be interested in doing one of your June articles on this event? o Policy implementation date will be included on student report cards as well as employee payroll stubs. I will get in touch with Irene at DPH to request Quit Line Credit cards. They are currently providing them from free. These cards will be available to visitors at the school. The Cooper Clayton program will be provided to school personnel. The Implementation Committee will decide the dates. Health department will provide a pamphlet to school personnel advertising TFS policy and the health effects of smoking, SHS and 3rd hand smoke. Vanessa will see what is currently available. May have to be created or purchased. Deborah may be able to pay for this. Deborah is looking into the possibility of offering a cessation group for students during the lunch hour 1 X a week for several weeks. She mentioned that Michelle Searcy, RN may be able to work with this group?
I am very impressed and encouraged with the Boards follow through. Deborah is very excited and stated this isnt something that we need to get anyones by-in on. This is a definite. J Yeah!

The 3rdhand smoke residue that imbeds into surfaces, e.g. furniture, carpet, clothing, skin, etc., when it reacts with nitrous acid, a common indoor air pollutant, forms dangerous carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), such as NNN and NNK.

FDA reported that one brand actually had ethyleneglycol in it, while apparently others used propylene glycol.

Jim Cowan, Stanley R. wrote: It is not ethylene glycol, but propylene glycol that is used in the e-cigarettes.>From my days as a sanitarian and inspecting dairy and food plants, propylene glycol was a food grade anti-freeze used in heat exchangers for quickly heating or cooling liquid food products. The FDA has listed propylene glycol as "generally recognized as safe." Take a look at the label on imitation vanilla flavoring in your cupboard and you will see that propylene glycol is a primary ingredient.Propylene glycol is safe to ingest. But, it is not known if it is safe to heat into a vapor and inhale. Heating a substance can drastically change its characteristics. This is what FDA is worried about and thus cannot currently determine if the vapor from an e-cigarette is safe.________________________________From: smokefreecasinostalk@googlegroups.com [smokefreecasinos-talk@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Smoke-Free Gaming [smokefreegaming@yahoo.com]Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 6:17 PMTo: smokefreecasinostalk@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: The vapor in E-CigarettesRE: Electronic CigarettesI met a former sales person for e-cigarettes in Las Vegas and he told me that anti-freezeand two other chemicals (he couldn't remember the names) are in the vapor in the e-cigarettes but that he was told by the company to tell the public it was just water vapor.According to Wikipedia:Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound widely used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers.

Rick Nowlin, R-Natchitoches, was far less comprehensive than the Senate measure, but still drew strong opposition from casinos and a lobbyist for the tavern industry, who said he feared it would be amended on the House floor to ban smoking in bars.also in the news.....Electronic cigarettes for sale at FoxwoodsBattery-powered devices have raised safety questionsThe Day (New London, CT), 2010-05-07Brian Hallenbeckhttp://www.theday.com/article/20100507/BIZ02/305079921/1018Retail stores at Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods may be among the first in the state to sell electronic cigarettes, devices that have been making inroads with the public despite questions about whether they're safe.Cigotine, the Providence-based company that began offering its products at Foxwoods last month, also plans to start selling them next week from a kiosk inside Crystal Mall, the company's chief executive officer said Thursday. A spokesman for mall management confirmed the kiosk will open May 15. . . .Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who vowed last year to fight retail sales of e-cigarettes, said Thursday their safety remains questionable. "We've warned consumers to be very wary of these products," he said. "We're continuing our investigation to determine what steps can and should be taken to protect the public."Blumenthal, who said his office has received no complaints about e-cigarettes, has also advocated for an eventual outright ban on smoking at the state's tribally owned casinos, which currently limit smoking to certain gaming areas under agreements worked out with Gov. M. Jodi Rell.************************************************Bronson FrickAssociate DirectorAmericans for Nonsmokers' Rights2530 San Pablo Ave., Ste.

Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids
From: Brian at Tobacco-Free Kids <brian@tfk.org> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 5:14 PM To: Hahn, Ellen J Subject: Tobacco companies and their tricks
Tobacco companies continue to try to deceive the public. They are seeking to evade an important part of the new FDA tobacco law: the ban on using misleading descriptors like "light," "mild," and "low tar." Their latest trick? Color coded packs...with the former "regular" cigarettes in darker boxes and the so-called "light" cigarettes in light colored boxes. A child could figure it out... perhaps that is what they are counting on. Of course, you and I know that THERE IS NO SAFE CIGARETTE! Please sign the THERE IS NO SAFE CIGARETTE petition telling the FDA to aggressively monitor and end practices that continue to mislead consumers. The Campaign has already submitted our comments to the FDA on this matter and now we need to add your voice to the choir of health advocates speaking out on Big Tobacco's latest trick. Please sign the THERE IS NO SAFE CIGARETTE petition Under the new law, the FDA has the authority to ban similar descriptors and stop other actions that explicitly (or implicitly) suggest that a particular brand is less harmful. It is critical that the FDA exercise its authority in order to protect consumers. Thank you.

FDA Pushed To Define Scope, Line Between Drug And Tobacco Products
file:///C|/.. 20Conley/Desktop/FOIA/Results/University%20of%20KY/disc%201/Conley%20request%201/Tobacco%20Harm%20Reduction%20Update%20(4711).html[8/19/2011 2:33:59 AM]
By Alaina Busch FDA Weekly March 31, 2011 A key Democratic lawmaker and a stakeholder group are urging FDA to close loopholes in the Tobacco Control Act that enable exemptions for certain tobacco goods, with the agency saying it is still considering its options for some tobacco-derived products as it defines the line between tobacco and drug products. FDA, citing current limitations in the law, recently said it could not to regulate dissolvable tobacco lozenges from a tobacco company, a decision that drew the ire of an anti-tobacco group, while a tobacco policy expert contends that drug companies could seize on the agency's conclusion to market their smoking-cessation goods without certain warnings or claims. As part of this debate on how to draw FDA's jurisdictional lines for tobacco, some lawmakers are pressing the agency to expand the ban on clove cigarettes to cigars, which are not explicitly covered under the law. The issue also plays into how FDA will balance the interests of the drug and tobacco industries (see FDA Week March 4). FDA recently indicated that it would not yet expand its jurisdiction over tobacco to also subsume dissolvable tobacco products. Star Scientific applied for modified risk tobacco status for its ARIVA-BDL and STONEWALL-BDL dissolvable tobacco products last year, but FDA said last week that the products did not fall under requirements for cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, smokeless tobacco and roll-yourown tobacco, which are currently subject to the law, according to the company. The agency's decision could open the market to other tobacco or drug companies to market their dissolvable or smoking cessation products without warnings, which are required for tobacco, said Bill Godshall executive director of Smokefree Pennsylvania. Drug companies have run clinical trials to make therapeutic claims to market similar tobacco products aimed at helping smokers quit, but these products must also include risk information, as they are regulated as pharmaceuticals. Drug companies could also have a piece of the market without stringent premarket and treatment controls, provided they drop the claims that their products help smokers quit, Godshall said. The recommended course of treatments for these nicotine replacement therapies are 10 to 12 weeks, but recovering smokers often use the products longer, which is considered an off-label use, Godshall said. By marketing without therapeutic claims, drug companies would also not have to warn consumers to only use the products for a limited time, he added. "I don't see the drug companies doing that because this is a public relations issue for them," he said. "They don't want to be viewed as another competitor in the tobacco industry." While the agency has explicit powers to regulate the products stated in the law, the statute gives it the authority to draft regulations for all tobacco-derived products, provided the agency proves the requirements would be beneficial to public health, said Godshall. "The burden of proof is on the FDA now," he said. FDA's Star Scientific decision was met with criticism from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which said the products meet FDA's definition of smokeless tobacco and are explicitly regulated by the law. "The FDA has created a loophole where no loophole existed in the law and issued an invitation to tobacco companies to introduce new unregulated tobacco products," according to the group's president Matthew Myers. "This is exactly what Congress sought to prevent when it passed the 2009 law granting the FDA authority over tobacco products. The FDA should reverse course and close this dangerous loophole immediately." The law outlines a schedule of studies to be conducted on various topics regarding the public health implications of regulating or banning certain products. Like the agency's recent analysis of menthol cigarettes, FDA's Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee will next study dissolvable tobacco. "They can still promulgate regulations and I anticipate they're going to," Godshall said. FDA is grappling with establishing the boundaries between tobacco and other regulated products, including drugs and devices. The agency has pending litigation over its decision to regulate electronic cigarettes as medical devices, with federal courts saying the products are derived from tobacco and should be subject to those regulations. "FDA recognizes there are uncertainties regarding the regulatory status of a variety of nicotine-containing products derived from tobacco; more specifically, whether these products are regulated as drugs or tobacco products," the agency said in response to its Star Scientific decision. Aside from electronic cigarettes, FDA could expand its control over products like pipe tobacco and cigars, Godshall said. Clove flavored cigars drew the attention of Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, who encouraged the agency to take advantage of the discretion allowed by the law to ban these products. In letter Monday (March 28) to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, he said the lead manufacturer of clove cigarettes, Kretek International, switched its clove cigarettes to cigars to circumvent FDA oversight. Citing company documents from 2007, Waxman said company executives -- in anticipation of a ban -- started the process of switching the
products to cigars. They did not plan to change the product formulation, but would not use a paper wrapper, thereby evading the definition of cigarette, according to Waxman. "I recognize that there are historical differences between cigarettes and cigars," according to the letter. "Congress recognized these differences by requiring FDA to ban flavored cigarettes, while giving FDA discretion to decide whether to ban flavored cigars. In this case, however, Kretek is exploiting the distinction to keep its dangerous product on the market." The company did not respond to a request for comment. With passage of the law, Congress instituted a ban on all cigarette flavoring, aside from menthol. While the legislation gives FDA the power to ban flavored products, it cannot enact a complete ban on nicotine or all cigarettes.

Good afternoon, Geralyn, We are happy to talk with you about compliance with our policy. Our policy is located on our website: www.uky.edu/tobaccofree . Our policy does include e-cigarettes and you can see the actual language if you click on the Policy Tab. Compliance is a challenge but we are doing pretty well. You can see a link to our week-long anniversary events this week (it has been one year since we implemented the policy). http://uknow.uky.edu/content/uk-celebrates-tobacco-free-campus-anniversary We are happy to chat further with you, Ellen

Currently, we are working on a tobacco free campus policy for the University of Wisconsin River Falls. How is your policy coming along enforcement issues? Self regulating, are students and staff actually addressing the issue when they see violations? Can you share whats happening with the e-cig? It is not allowed in classrooms, right? How as that languaged? Thanks for your time and congratulations! Geralyn Karl
