We are waiting for the new commission to come in to meet, and I plan on putting in a plug during the meeting. I have talked to the group that received the DFC grant in our county about partnering on an effort to strengthen the current ordinance, and they said that it is in their plans. However, sometimes this group has a little trouble with follow through. We would have a good shot with the Oboro commission based on what I already know about the commissioners coming in this year. The county will need some assessment.

Becky, Here is our latest fact sheet on e-cigarettes. We are working closely with Madison County. They voted on first reading to include e-cigarettes in their regulation. I am cc: Carol since she is working closely with them. Plus, just this week, a federal court in Virginia ruled that e-cigarettes are tobacco products. So my take is that smoke-free laws/regulations should include e-cigarettes. Happy to help. Monica will send along other key documents.

Curt, So glad you joined us and I look forward to working with you again! Sorry we didnt have time to catch up. Good news is that the TWO ordinances that passed this week BOTH cover e-cigarettes (Bardstown and GlasgowJ). This is a new emerging product and we will be sure to recommend inclusion as communities pass state of the art ordinances. Take care, Ellen p.s. I hope you will come to our March 25 conference at the Doubletree! Ellen J.

Hi Curt, I totally agree with you on the e-cig issue. Bardstown is the first one going through that includes e-cigs. I also agree with you that opening the existing policies up to add that would be too risky at this time. Better to work on including it on those moving forward. Thanks for coming. Always good to see you.

Well, since you asked.... -My objective for the meeting was to listen and learn. So, from that perspective, it was good. -There's obviously ALOT of talent around that table and I look forward to hearing more from them. -The one issue that really caught my attention was the e-cigarette and the clean indoor air activity around the state. Admittedly, there is much I don't know about all the community indoor air ordinances and should probably re-visit some of them. But, I wonder if those ordinances are broad enough to include e-cigarettes (and I am hoping that is the case). And if they don't, can/should e-cigarettes be included in future ordinances. My personal take it that it might be risky to open up all the already passed ordinances to include e-cigarettes because, as you know, every time they are discussed and opened to votes, the ordinances in their present form are put at risk. Looking forward to learning more about this issue. -Otherwise, an obviously well-prepared for meeting and I thank you for including me. Have worked most of the day, but looking forward to seeing some "outside" time soon. Thanks.

Kristian, When our health dept. went completely tobacco-free we decided to ban all tobacco products rather than just cigarettes. The first attachment is the signage we have on our grounds. The second attachment is what we put up around our building and in the newspaper paper prior to becoming 100% Tobacco-Free to prepare our customers and staff. The third attachment is of window clings that we had ordered prior to going completely tobacco-free that includes the city ordinance number.

Thanks, Vanessa. Looks like a good agenda. We can talk a little on the phone about the subaward and how it might fit in with MAPP. Im glad to see the idea of packets for the fiscal court candidates on the agenda. Do you know if the paper or any group is conducting a candidate survey or a candidate forum where we could submit a question or two? We can talk briefly about that, too. If anyone would be willing to assess candidate views we have a more conversational form than what we used before, so Ill attach that fyi. Ill call you tomorrow! Carol

Carol, You are more than welcome to attend the first hour of MAPP. Please come if you can. The goal of merging is to have our coalition become part of the MAPP group so were all working as one team towards a healthier community. Wednesday at 10:00 am would probably work best for me. We can talk then about what to expect at MAPP. The only items that I currently have on the agenda include: UK subaward 24/7 Tobacco-Free Schools Cooper Clayton Facilitator Training (Aug/Sept) World No Tobacco Day Expo Informational packets to those running for magistrate Thanks so much,

Hi, Whitney, Due to copyright laws, I cannot give you the .pdf to load onto the website (unfortunately). I cannot even put it on our website without either paying or getting permission.

The Madison County Board of Health listened to the proposal for the opening of a Hookah Caf in Richmond. The proposal was denied. There was some discussion of the language of the regulation. One Board member suggested there needed to be a change in the language regarding the definition of RETAIL TOBACCO STORE to make it more clear. No action was taken on this. My hopes are that the BOH considers making some amendments and/or changing the language according to some of the suggestions from TCLC. Thank you all for your assistance! We will certainly keep you posted.

Hi, Kelly and Ruth, I have reviewed the TCLC review of our request related to the hookah situation in Madison County. Here are the take-away messages that I would emphasize: 1. In addition to the hookah health effects fact sheets that we sent, they emphasized the many young hookah users also smoke cigarettes. This fits with the tobacco industrys recent focus on dual use products (in response to the wave of smoke-free regulations). They have dramatically changed the way they market and promote tobacco since the explosion of smoke-free laws. The attempt to circumvent Madisons clean air regulation by allowing a hookah lounge is clearly a way to say to young people that they can maintain their addiction to tobacco even in a smoke-free environment (by the way, they are also doing this in their marketing of the newer spitless snus products). 2. I concur with TCLC that Madison BOH has several options to strengthen its clean air regulation to discourage the hookah lounge. One relates to amending the definition of smoking (see top of p. 3 for the ANR model ordinance definition of smoking that includes heating of tobacco products). Second, addressing the retail tobacco store exemption. Below are your choices from most effective to least effective in protecting public health: a. The cleanest (and the most defensible from a health standpoint) solution would be to remove the tobacco store exemption altogether (and revise the definition of smoking as above), but I understand that this may be problematic in your situation. i. I like their point that many successful businesses that deal in consumable items, such as hard liquor, do not allow customers to sample products before purchasing them. Could be a great argument to removing the retail tobacco store exemption altogether (coupled with the health effects and emerging dual use trendsas a BOH you could do that more easily than could an elected body in my opinion, given your mission to protect the public health. And since passing the regulation, the industry has found loopholes like this one and they are focusing on dual use). b. Include hookah in the list of definition of public place or place of employment AND make the above changes to the definition of smoking AND make the below changes to the retail tobacco store definition and exemption
(see Other Options p. 5). c. Amend the definition of retail tobacco store to not allow the sale of alcohol or food AND to require tobacco products to make up a certain percentage of total sales AND to require the store be in a freestanding building AND to require the store to provide documentation quarterly that demonstrates the percentage requirements in the definition (see p. 4 suggested language re 700.025, 700.022, and 700.425 exemption language). I do not agree with their recommendation to add to the exemption language to not allow individuals under the age of 18 to enter the premises. Given the health effects to all ages, I see no reason to even talk about youth (could be an equal protections issue and your regulation is already comprehensive in including all ages). d. Last option, in my opinion, is to do some version of #c, meaning that you could decide only to change the percentage of sales in the definition of retail tobacco store exemption (like Lexington did; I caution you, however, since the Lexington fix has not changed the situationthe hookah lounge is still in business and we hear that cigarette smokers primarily go there and that there may not be a lot of hookah smoking going on). Or you could decide only to require the store to be in a freestanding building, for example. I hope it goes well tonight. Feel free to share my thoughts with BOH members, as well as the materials Carol has shared over the past several days. I am happy to follow up on any of these suggestions via phone or in person if needed. Again, feel free to call me at 859-421-6948. I will have email access this week but it may be spotty. We will be interested to hear the outcome of the meeting. Ellen

Hi Kelly and Ruth,

We thought you needed info on secondhand smoke (or Exhaled Main Stream Smoke, EMSS, as one author calls it) to argue against a Hookah coming in. Obviously the effects on the user are huge, as noted in the last one-pager we sent. However the literature is scarce on Hookah SHS info and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Thankfully Maziak has done a recent study to augment the one Kiyoung Lee conducted on our Hookah. I have replaced only the What the Science Says section on the one-pager, so this one will look exactly like the one we sent last week except for that section. Bottom line is that when a waterpipe smoker is smoking, the PM2.5 levels in the establishment can rise to 908 and the PM10 particles even higher (1052). Kiyoung found PM2.6 levels ranging from 116-199 in our Hookah (with no one smoking regular cigarettes). As always, we only have the outdoor air standard (35) as a comparison, but even Kiyoung lowest finding is over 3X the outdoor standard and Maziaks highest PM2.5 level was almost 26X the outdoor standard. We found a review article that presents incomplete and biased info. Chaouachi (2009) claims that the hookah device generates almost no Side Stream Smoke. When I went to the Maziak article that he cites, it turns out that may only be true if no one is smoking the waterpipe. As Kiyoung Lee points out, there can also be air pollution from the heat source. I wanted you to be aware of this in case someone cites this study. Obviously there is no need to expose workers to even 3X the outdoor standard. We just got TCLCs comments and havent read them yet. Were out in a community tonight, but Ellen says that she can develop some talking points tomorrow AM Thanks so much for your patience as we chart this new ground. Carol

Smoke-free Policy Updates

Bullitt County Board of Health Faces Lawsuits On March 22, 2011, the Bullitt County Board of Health adopted a comprehensive smoke-free regulation (including e-cigarettes) by a vote of 7 to 2 Subsequently, the Bullitt County Attorney on behalf of the Fiscal Court and several cities in Bullitt County filed a lawsuit in Circuit Court against the Bullitt County Board of Health challenging the Boards legal authority to adopt a smoke-free regulation A second lawsuit has been filed in Federal Court by Bullitt County Choice (local opposition group) and a few local businesses This lawsuit also questions the legal authority of the Board of Health to adopt a smoke-free regulation Also challenged in the federal suit is the inclusion of e-cigarettes, consistent with the aggressive opposition by Big E-Cig (e-cigarette industry and their trade groups; see below) in Madison County in recent months Kenton County and Bowling Green Smoke-free Ordinances go into Effect Two new ordinances were implemented in April Kenton Countys weak ordinance was implemented on April 15, 2011 To date, 70 businesses have applied for exemptions and 62 have been granted according to the Kentucky Enquirer. There is also a provision for a split-shift operation in which businesses can be smoke-free for part of the day and allow smoking during other times This provision was not written into the original ordinance, but added by the County Attorney before implementation Multiple exemptions create confusion for patrons, businesses, and enforcement agencies Bowling Greens (Warren County) comprehensive ordinance went into effect April 28, 2011 The Bowling Green ordinance covers all workplaces and public places, and exempts private clubs and tobacco retailers Two lawsuits were filed in Bowling Green in an attempt to derail implementation, one related to property rights and the other on constitutional rights Both of those lawsuits sought temporary injunctions to stop implementation and both were dismissed in court With the Bowling Green and Kenton County ordinance, 31 Kentucky communities currently have some form of smoke-free law (see below) Madison County Board of Health Strengthens Smoke-free Regulation On April 6, 2011, the Madison County Board Health voted 8 to 1 to strengthen their regulation to restrict the use of electronic cigarettes in public places and workplaces The Board of Health also rescinded a previously standing exemption for tobacco retailers The revised regulation implementation date is scheduled for June 5, 2011 Americans for Nonsmokers Rights (ANR) Releases Quarterly Update According to ANR, as of April 1, 2011: 47.9% of the U S population is protected by smoke-free laws or regulations covering all workplaces, restaurants, and bars There are 3,270 municipalities with some kind of local smoke-free ordinance in effect Of the 3,270 municipalities, 930 provide 100% smoke-free protection for non-hospitality workplaces, and/or restaurants and/or bars A total of 454 municipalities have ordinances that cover all non-hospitality workplaces, restaurants and bars Twenty-three states along with the District of Columbia, U S Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico have comprehensive smoke-free laws covering all workplaces, restaurants, and bars Sources: http://www no-smoke org/pdf/SummaryUSPopList pdf http://www no-smoke org/pdf/mediaordlist pdf

Opposition Watch
Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA) CASAA is a 501C4 group with close ties to the E-Cigarette Association, the manufacturers trade association CASAAs self-defined mission is to aid tobacco users in locating alternatives to smoking traditional cigarettes, with a main focus on electronic cigarettes (or ecigarettes) CASAA is primarily engaged in the defense of electronic cigarettes on the American market and staunchly defends the companies that produce them and the consumers right to use them in public places Their website banner asks for petitioners to sign a document that would prohibit the Federal Drug and Food Administration from regulating electronic cigarettes as a drug Indeed, the FDA recently decided (after an industry lawsuit) to regulate e-cigarettes as a tobacco product, not a drug The e-cigarette industry is profiting significantly by marketing and selling a product that has not been shown to help people quit, likely prolongs nicotine addiction, and perpetuates empty claims of safety that are not based on scientific testing Recent studies report serious labeling and quality control issues as well as design flaws, none of which are reflected in the industrys television ads, powerful internet pitches and testimonials using facebook and other social media CASAAs tactics seem to be less about promoting responsible tobacco cessation, but more about creating controversy and confusion around what constitutes smoking in the context of smoke-free laws CASAA launched an aggressive, albeit unsuccessful, opposition campaign in Madison County to fight the inclusion of e-cigarettes in their revised regulation (see above) Their tactics sound all too familiar CASAA refutes research on the potential dangers of e-cigs and attacks public health professionals who do not promote the product CASAA is attempting to derail effective public health interventions to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke Until e-cigarettes have been rigorously tested and are shown to be a safe product and effective in cessation, they should be approached with caution Given the recent decision to regulate e-cigarettes as a tobacco product, there is even more reason for smoke-free laws and regulations to cover e-cigarettes To view their website, please click on the link below: http://www casaa org For more information about e-cigarettes, see our fact sheet at: http://www mc uky edu/tobaccopolicy/KCSP/OnePagers/OnePagerECigandSFPolicy pdf

University of Kentuckys Tobacco-free Anniversary
November marked the first anniversary of the University of Kentuckys tobacco-free campus policy. This was celebrated the week of November 15 with activities including distribution of policy reminder cards (with free drink coupon), display tables around campus with cold turkey sandwiches, s-mores (cold turkey is not the way to goask for smore information about how to quit), and hot chocolate, and a campus-wide cigarette butt clean-up. Check out Kysmokefree on Facebook for tobacco-free anniversary pictures http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=25739&id=121589417877279 2. News from the American Public Health Association meeting in Denver, Colorado Several members of the KCSP team attended the 2010 American Public Health Association conference in November. Below are selected highlights from some of the sessions we enjoyed the most! Adult education as a vehicle for health communication Ariela M. Freedman, MPH, MAT Rollins School of Public Healthy, Emory University, Atlanta, GA According to the Institute on Medicine, nearly half of all Americans 90 million people have difficulty understanding and acting upon health information. So much of what we do in tobacco control is based on print media and we may be missing a large audience who possess low literacy and low health literacy skills. During Ms. Freedmans session at APHA, she suggested reaching out to adult education to reach those who are often disproportionately affected by smoking and/or secondhand smoke. Adult educators are experienced in translating information to meet the literacy skills of their participants. Adult education is also a known and safe location where participants often have existing relationships and participants frequently report learning from each other. Questions to consider: Are you aware of the adult education programs in your county? Have you ever talked with the adult education program about your smoke-free activities? Have you reviewed the materials you use in your tobacco control program to make sure they are readable for low literacy audiences?
For more information on clearly communicating health information, visit: http://www.health.gov/communication/literacy/plainlanguage/PlainLanguage.htm For a how to on writing easy-to-read health information: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/etr.html
Norm spreading or behavioral compensating- Do clean indoor air laws increase voluntary home smoke-free rules? Dr. Kai-Wen Cheng, Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, University of California, San Francisco This session examined whether smoke-free laws increase the adoption of voluntary home smoke-free rules among smoking households. The study found that smoke-free laws increase the likelihood that family households
voluntarily implement smoke-free home rules. For more information on smoke-free homes and multi unit housing, please visit Americans for Non-smokers Rights at http://www.no-smoke.org/goingsmokefree.php?id=101 Critical appraisal training to expand health literacy and reduce health disparities Donna Odierna, DrPH, University of California, San Francisco The goal of this project was to implement and evaluate health literacy workshops for consumer advocates, journalists, and healthcare providers. The ability to evaluate evidence for credibility and quality, and to analyze risks and benefits is important for healthcare decision-making. It is also crucial for effective communication with others, including policy makers. As a result of taking part in the workshops, participants confidence in critical appraisal skills increased by about 30%. Attendees reported that they were more likely to use critical appraisal skills to identify valid sources of information, recognize financial conflicts of interest, effectively communicate health information, and critique tobacco advertising. Additional information on health literacy training may be found at: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/healthliteracy/practice/training/index.html Messages that motivate rural communities to support smoke-free policy change Anna Kostygina, PhD, Postdoctoral Scholar, University of Kentucky Focus groups were conducted with 82 residents of three rural communities to study the perceived effectiveness of print advertisements used in rural communities to promote smoke-free policies in regard to message framing and emotional tone. Based on the results, tips are included below for successful media campaigns in rural communities: Use bright colors, such as red or yellow. Include a clear phone number or website where people can take action. Be concise with the wording. Messages with a serious tone tend to be more effective than lighthearted messages (such as jokes or cartoons). Messages stressing the risks of secondhand smoke exposure were more effective than those focusing on the benefits of smoke-free air. Messages that appear to blame smokers (i.e.: Smokers kill non-smokers) were offensive to some participants. Messages appealing to social norms and religious beliefs received strong support from the participants. Visit Americans for Nonsmokers Rights for examples of smoke-free ads used in other communities: http://www.nosmoke.org/goingsmokefree.php?id=115. Justice is what love looks like, Cornel West, PhD, Professor, Princeton University Quote: allow suffering to speak.have the courage to question things that obstruct justice.unregulated markets dont work to provide justice for all.
Questions to consider: Is it fair or just that some people have to breathe smoky air at work? Would workers exposed to secondhand smoke at work in your community be willing to get involved in your smoke-free efforts? Could you use their quotes (anonymous) in a worker quote document? How can you frame smoke-free as a justice issue in your community? See Robert Wood Johnsons summary of the APHA meeting: http://rwjfapha.com/ Smoke-free Research Updates State-Specific Prevalence of Cigarette Smoking and Smokeless Tobacco Use Among Adults --- United States, 2009. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, November 5, 2010 / 59(43); 1400-1406 Cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use cause or increase the risk for lung, throat, oral, and other types of cancers. In the article, the CDC analyzed data from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Smoking prevalence was highest in Kentucky & West Virginia (25.6%). The prevalence of smokeless tobacco use was higher among men than women in all states and territories. These data suggest that smokeless tobacco use is predominantly a public health problem among men, young adults, and persons with lower education, and in certain states: Smokeless tobacco use among men was significantly higher than among women in all 50 states Among the 50 states and DC, smokeless tobacco use was most common among persons aged 18--24 years Smokeless tobacco use tended to decrease with increasing education Percent of smokeless tobacco use among adults in Kentucky: 6.7% Percent of cigarette smokers who also use smokeless tobacco in Kentucky: 7.7%
As smoke-free laws become more widespread and the tobacco industry continues to market their products for dual use, the percent of cigarette smokers who also use smokeless is expected to rise. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5943a2.htm?s_cid=mm5943a2_w Opposition Watch The Growing Popularity of E-cigarettes Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, have continued to become more popular and widely accepted as evidenced by the article in the link below. The e-cigarette industry has launched an organized campaign to convince the public that e-cigarettes help smokers quit. There is no research evidence that this is the case. In fact, there is evidence that e-cigarettes actually help smokers remain addicted to nicotine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent letters to five tobacco companies in September indicating that they were marketing their products illegally as unapproved drugs and that the products would need to be regulated by the FDA. http://new-smoke.com/e-cigarette-news/david-letterman-smokes-the-electronic-cigarette/
http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2010/default.htm?fragment25_NextRow=51 See the attached fact sheet on E-cigarettes and Smoke-free Policies. Several local smoke-free ordinances/regulations in Kentucky prohibit the use of e-cigarettes (Bardstown, Glasgow, Madison County BOH regulation, amended 12/1/10). Northern Kentucky Tea Party The Northern Kentucky Tea Party is doing the bidding of the tobacco industry and other anti-health groups (i.e., Bluegrass Institute, Kentucky Libertarian Party, NKY Choice) to vigorously oppose the proposed smoke-free ordinances in Campbell and Kenton Counties. Check their website: http://www.nkyteaparty.org/ and read Smoking Ban Supporters Hypocritical. The Lexington Herald-Leader called out the Tea Party and urged Campbell and Kenton Fiscal Courts to make the healthy decision in an opinion editorial this week. http://www.kentucky.com/2010/11/30/1545933/go-smoke-free-northern-ky.html Feedback If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the KCSP Community Partners Newsletter, or would like to suggest future content for the newsletter, please let us know!

Recently they have had 3 or 4 requests for waivers to establish Hookah businesses. On one college campus in Madison County hookah is smoked outside on campus. Apparently entrepreneurs simply set up under a tree and offer this service. The health department also has received several calls asking whether ecigarettes are covered under the smoke-free regulation. Amendments to the smoke-free regulation were proposed at the last BOH meeting (attached). Kelly Owens, Tobacco Coordinator, has asked that we send the proposed amendments to you for your review. Ill also attach the original regulation. Specific questions posed by the BOH include: 1. 2. Could there be any legal repercussions if they remove the Tobacco Retailer exemption? Do e-cigarettes fit within the ordinance? (Are there hazards to the non-smoker?)
We have done a literature review and continue to search other sources, but so far have not found any air quality testing where e-cigarettes are used indoors. Since FDA tests revealed some info about the contents of the e-cigarette cartridge and a vapor is formed, one would imagine that some of these contents get into the air via the device or user exhalations, but we havent found any data on emissions yet. Of course, Kelly Owens would like to clean up both the tobacco retailer exemption and the e-cig loophole while amendments to the regulation is being considered. I know you all are swamped and we do have a little time with this as the health department needs info by late November.

Madison County Suggested Amendments

Hi Kelly and Ruth,

Ellen or I will send the proposed amendments to the Public Health Law Center (formerly Tobacco Control Legal Consortium) for their review. Im including our progress on e-cig research, below. Ellen, please feel free to comment. We have done a lit review on e-cigarettes which hasnt shown much in the way air quality testing. E cigarettes produce a vapor and contain (at the very least) nicotine, one would expect that nicotine is emitted into the air either from the e-cig directly or from the smokers exhalations. FDA research has shown that at least one brand contains diethylene glycol (used in antifreeze). They also found tobacco-specific nitrosamines containing carcinogens in a majority of the samples tested and other substances suspected of being harmful to humans in a majority of the samples tested. It is likely that some of these contents are emitted into the air as well. Ill attach the FDA results. As weve discussed before, e-cig are not likely to be helpful in cessation. The FDA tests found that 3 different e-cig cartridges with the same label emitted markedly different amounts of nicotine, which would not be helpful in cessation. Interestingly, the FDA found that , with the exception of one, e-cig cartridges labeled as containing no nicotine actually contained low levels of nicotine. Were using a few other avenues to look for other info on e-cigarettes. Please let us know of further developments on your end, comments from the county attorney, etc. Thanks for your hard work for the health of workers and citizens in Madison County.

Youre welcome! Glasgow, Bardstown, and Bullitt all included e-cigarettes, too. There is organized, funded opposition to including e-cigarettes, but no safety or efficacy data on them (although the opposition makes it sounds as though there has been systematic testing). The opposition actually took our e-cigarette onepager and revamped it with their information and posted it on our facebook (same format and everything, but with their info and name)! Theyve also been releasing press releases that make it look like a story for the local news to pick up. Ellen is working on an op-ed. Carol

Hi Cynthia and Dr. Jett, Im looking forward to attending your last forum tonight! From what Cynthia told me youve had some excellent supporters at the last couple of forums! I wanted to send ANRs model ordinance to you so that the BOH would have a good model to start with. It has all the latest language that includes Hookahs and e-cigarettes. The board would just have to fill in blanks like who would enforce the regulation and modify slightly to put in the proper terms for a regulation rather than an ordinance. Im also attaching some information about our legal resources that will be helpful to you. We would like to get any draft regulation to the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium as soon as possible after it is drafted to get their feedback based on their experience helping communities across the country. Our local legal consultant, Judy Owens, may also be helpful and we would be glad to engage her consultation. Let me know if you have any questions about either resource.

January 13, 2011 News Summary A small Virginia company, Star Scientific, Inc., is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market one of its smokeless
tobacco products as less harmful than other tobacco products, the Associated Press reported Jan. 4. Star Scientific said its new Stonewall Moist-BDL dissolvable tobacco lozenge has 90 to 99 percent fewer carcinogens than similar products and should qualify for a new "modified-risk" label being developed by the FDA. Two similar applications to the agency from Star are still under consideration . According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smokeless tobacco is not safer than cigarettes because it has 28 cancercausing ingredients. The United Kingdom's Royal College of Physicians has taken a different position. In a 2007 report, the College said that some smokeless tobacco products were less harmful than cigarettes. Smokeless tobacco products, such as electronic cigarettes and dissolvable lozenges, have divided public health advocates. Some argue that smokeless tobacco presents a lower risk to the public, while others argue that all tobacco use is harmful . About 3 percent of adults in the United States use smokeless tobacco.
January 14, 2011 News Summary
Possible FDA Ban on Menthol Cigarettes Haunts Brand Leader
cigarettes, The Wall Street Journal reported Jan. 5. Menthol cigarettes make up about 30 percent of industry sales. Lorillard -- not the only tobacco company against a menthol ban -- makes Newport, the leading brand. Newport menthols have driven an increase in the company's market share, from 9 percent in 2001 to 13 percent in the third quarter of 2010, even as overall domestic cigarette sales declined. Since Newport menthols make up the vast majority of Lorillard cigarette sales, the company may fear a "doomsday scenario if menthol gets banned and they can't keep a majority of their customers," according to Philip Gorham, an analyst with Morningstar, Inc. The FDA was given the authority by Congress to regulate tobacco in legislation passed in 2009. Although the law specifically outlawed flavorings such as candy, spice and fruit, which might be especially appealing to youth, it left it to the FDA to assess whether menthol flavoring should remain legal. An FDA advisory committee, the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, will make its recommendations on menthol in March. The agency may recommend responses less stringent than a ban, such as restrictions on advertising. The FDA is not bound by the committee's recommendations and has no deadline to act. Some health advocates said that menthol, which is drawn from mint plants and creates a cooling sensation in the mouth and throat, is attractive to youth because it covers up the harsh taste of cigarettes. They also say that it is appealing to African-Americans, "who have long been a target of menthol marketing campaigns," according to The Wall Street Journal. Federal survey data from 2009 showed that 45 percent of smokers between 12 and 17 use menthols, and about 80% of African-American smokers prefer menthols to other brands. A 2010 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that African-Americans suffered disproportionately from smokingrelated disease, compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Further, while only 20.6 percent of all Americans smoke, 21.3 percent of black adults do. Lorillard and other opponents of an FDA ban on menthol argue that jobs are at risk, and that a black market for menthol cigarettes would remain if menthol cigarettes were outlawed. To head off a ban, the company has moved aggressively to dominate public discourse on the topic. According to The Wall Street Journal, it has bought Internet domain names potentially critical of menthols, such as MentholKillsMinorities.com, MentholAddictsYouth.com, FDAMustBanMenthol.com, KillerMenthol, BanMenthol and MentholKills. The company set up pro-menthol Twitter and Facebook pages as well as UnderstandingMenthol.com, where, The Wall Street Journal reported,
Lorillard, Inc., the third-largest tobacco maker in the U.S., is fighting to stop the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from banning menthol in
it "frequently links to articles that include quotes or are written by groups that oppose a menthol ban and present reasoning similar to its own." Lorillard also hired a PR firm to gain media exposure for prominent African-Americans opposing a ban. For example, one of the firm's consultants placed the spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality, Niger Innis, on radio programs to discuss menthol. He objected to a possible ban because "you are taking away a legal preference and choice for African-Americans," and because a black market could create "another vehicle of criminality in the African-American community." The same consultant submitted a pro-menthol editorial under the byline of Harry C. Alford, the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. Lorillard contributes $35,000 in yearly dues to the organization. Alford said the editorial "was not in any way influenced" by that relationship. "African-Americans like their Newport cigarettes, and there is no reason why they should not be allowed to have them," he said. Health advocates in the black community dismissed such public relations efforts. For example, Dr. Louis Sullivan, U.S. health secretary under the first President Bush, was "very disappointed and very distressed" because African-American groups were being "used by tobacco companies." Lorillard would not comment on whether it had contributed financially to organizations that supported its point of view. "Over time, the company has been a member of organizations such as trade groups, chambers of commerce and other organizations," a spokesman for the company said. "Given what is at stake, it's only natural that we support them in their firmly held beliefs."

Hi, Joyce, I would encourage them to use the newest ANR model vs. the Campbellsville one. ANR updated their language in October 2009. There are always changes based on litigation around the country, and the ANR keeps everything up to date. Perhaps, the most important thing that I would advise is to be sure the drafted ordinance gets a good legal review (in addition to the other issues below). TCLC is the best place for that. Depending on who you are working with at ACS, they may or may not have a relationship with TCLC, or they may have other legal resources. We are happy to shepherd it through for legal review to TCLC. The sooner the better. Thanks for keeping us in the loop and let us know how we can help. Ellen

Thanks, Ellen. I forwarded your email to Dr. Shirley in Glasgow. I know they are using the Campbellsville ordinance as a guide, and I already told them not to exclude tobacco retail stores, cigar bars, and hookah bars, though I doubt Glasgow has any of the latter two. They dont even have regular bars. J Anyway, I told her today about the E Cigarettes, clearly the next thorn in our side. Do you have any other problems with the Campbellsville ordinance that we should be aware of? We have ACS working with us on this. I will keep you informed! Joyce

Joyce, This is great news indeed. I would encourage them to be sure that the definition of smoking includes e-cigarettes (an emerging trend) and that it also includes hookah (if you say heated in the definition, that should cover hookahsif you have the latest ANR model ordinance from late 2009, it should have this). Bottom line at this phase, I would strongly encourage you to get a copy of the ordinance asap so we can get TCLC to review it (we are happy to get it up there for you). Can you rely on the city attorney to do a good job? Is the attorney in support? We do have legal resources at KCSP (Judy Owens) and she has been a big help to the city attorneys (i.e., most recently Prestonsburg and London). If you think this would help, we could put the attorney there in touch with Judy. I am cc: Mike Bossick, the KCSP Manager. We are happy to provide whatever support you need. I know you have our Phases document, but I thought I would attach it so you could review the activities that we always suggest when community nears the legislative phase. You could use it simply as a checklist as you think about preparing for the push (Phases III and IV). Also, we have a new edition of the SHS and SF Policy booklet (2009) that we would be glad to provide to give to the council folks. We have hard copies and it is also on our website. www.kcsp.uky.edu We have updated our website with fact sheets/one-pagers that you might find helpful (same link as above under Fact Sheets). Preparing your elected official supporters for all possible opposition scenarios is key (I know you are aware of thatJ). We are working an active campaign in Bardstown right now and ACS/ALA/AHA has been good about sending out action alerts. As you know, they also can sometimes help with active lobbying. Let us know if you need help leveraging their support. Keep us posted and let us know how we can help. Good luck! Ellen

Ellen: This is not being made public yet, so dont let this information go anywhere, but I did want you to be aware of what is happening in Glasgow. Yesterday, Dr. Melissa Walton Shirley, Dr. Travis, and I met with four city council persons and the mayor. Two of the council persons and the mayor were in support of an ordinance, and our mission was to get a commitment from at least one more, which would give us a majority vote for an ordinance. And we got it! Now the plan is to write an ordinance pretty similar to Campbellsvilles. When I got back to the office, I read that ordinance, then sent a copy of ANRs model ordinance to Dr. Shirley and encouraged them not to exempt tobacco retail shops. Once the ordinance is written, they will bring it before the city council for a vote. In the meantime, we hope to get more than a room full of supporters ready to be there for each and all of the relevant city council meetings. We have a large base of supporters, so this should not be a problem. Cross your fingers! Joyce N.

If the you can send an action alert, that would be terrific! I am sure they would appreciate that. So it is looking as if Robin Baldwin may be the likely replacement as commissioner when the Mayor leaves for Secretary of State. Robin is an advocate (and she received the next highest number of votes at the last election). Carol Douglas sent my email to Slim related to the risks and special meeting procedures. Maybe we will luck out. ellen Ellen J.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Ellen. This is pretty scary, but I think you are right there is probably not much we can do from outside, other than provide advice as you have been doing. That said, Ill check our list to see how many people we have in Bowling Green. We can make sure they are connected to the locals. Who should we direct them to Carol Douglas, or Carol Riker? Just let me know. Thanks. Amy

Wanted you all to see this from Eric Gregory in Bowling Green. Given that our relationship with the group there has been sporadic, I am really not sure what any of us can do at this point. It seems they dont really have an inside game if they dont know how the new commissioner feels about smoke-free. Slim is the key, it seems. Carol Douglas has been our main point of contact and she is with the health department. I may call John Bonaguro at WKU since I have the best relationship with him. ellen Ellen J.

Subject: Re: RE: NEWS ALERT!!!!!
Ellen, Thanks for the "heads up" on the KRS. If the commission decides to fill the vacant seat with the next highest vote, it appears to be Robin Baldwin: http://www.wbko.com/home/headlines/Local_Election_2010__106486338.html I'm not sure where she stands on the issue. She should receive this email, maybe she'll let us know ; ). As far as having anyone outside the county contact the commissioners, I would be very cautious. ACS had their people review the ordinance last time and was very out of line (not our local ACS, but levels above) in the way they attempted to get Slim to change the wording. I think there are slight variations to the new ordinance (possibly to address electronic cigarettes), but Carol should be more up to date on that. I do think we need to ask Slim first if he wants it reviewed...he is the champion of this effort. I have begun contacting people who are supportive of the effort to show on Tuesday and will continue to do so.

And I am sure Slim and the Mayor want to do the right thing by taking an ordinance to first reading now given the Mayor's departure. Even if they have the votes to pass it this time, though, the risk is that the ordinance could be repealed or weakened by the new Commission. Does anyone know who is likely to replace the mayor or fill the vacancy for commissioner? It looks like Joe Denning will be the new mayor and he wasn't favorable last time. Where does he stand this time? Also, did an attorney draft the ordinance and is he/she favorable? I have asked the state smoke-free core team if anyone is available to assist by reaching out to the elected officials. If any of you can get a copy of the ordinance, we may be able to get it reviewed by our legal team. I do have a copy of what was considered last time, and the legal review. Keep in mind that once the ordinance goes past first reading, it cannot be substantially changed in any way. Also, please keep in mind that there are specific procedures outlined by KRS about special meetings (Slim was quoted as saying the second reading will be done at a special called meeting). We are experiencing a very difficult situation in Northern KY right now that might be helpful to you. First, Kenton County enacted a weak smoke-free ordinance by special meeting. It was delayed because they didn't follow the KRS procedures for special meetings (attached). Also, in the final hour, they amended the ordinance to exempt drinking establishments (and
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
enclosed areas in places that allow alcohol) which will make the law very confusing and difficult to enforce (and it won't protect those most vulnerable). Second, Campbell County enacted a comprehensive ordinance (3-1) right before the holiday, and they are going to first reading to repeal it on Jan. 19. Jan. 1 they had a new group of commissioners who are not favorable. Third, we have seen our strongest, most organized opposition to date in NKY. The Northern Kentucky Tea Party, along with NKY Choice, the KY Libertarian Party, and others have turned out the opposition in large numbers. A few lessons learned from NKY: plan for special meetings (the opposition will try to derail in every way and they are good at it); be sure the new commissioners are in your favor and that there is a plan in place to kill a bad ordinance; and turn out advocates who stick to the health message (and keep tabs on the opposition). Unfortunately, with the holiday weekend upon us, I am unsure exactly what assistance we can provide but I am on email and available by cell phone (859-421-6948) and willing to help in any way.

It's time to encourage everyone to come out to the city commission meeting and speak up in favor of the ordinance. It doesn't matter if you are a BG voter. If you work, visit or play in Bowling Green, they need to hear from you. You can be sure that the opposition will be there in full force! I will be contacting those of you specifically on the SF BG Ordinance workgroup to help me with potential business owner's/workers to speak at the meeting.

Mike, Thanks for sending the ordinance, and congratulations that secondhand smoke and the health of those who visit government buildings is being discussed in your county government!!!! Good work!
If possible, I would suggest a slight wording change to the ordinance as written (see highlighting for suggested additions): Smoking means inhaling, exhaling, burning, holding, or carrying any lighted or heated pipe, cigar, cigarette, or other lighted or heated tobacco product in any manner or form. "Smoking" also includes the use of an e-cigarette which creates a vapor, in any manner or in any form, or the use of any oral smoking device for the purpose of circumventing the prohibition of smoking in this Article. We are finding that the e-cigarette manufacturers are creating a loophole in smoke-free policy by trying to get around these policies. If you make the changes in the definition above, the fiscal court will clarify that the ordinance applies to all tobacco products including electronic cigarettes. I know Amanda sent you our materials on e-cigarettes. Good luck and keep us posted. Ellen

That's great news, Mike! This ordinance gives you a good opportunity for earned media. If it passes on the second reading, you should take a picture of the judge and the council and submit a story to the paper. This would also be a good time to recruit more coalition members. Was there time for public comment on the ordinance? If so, was anyone there that you might consider recruiting?

Try this on for size as our elevator speech: All Kentuckians deserve to breathe clean air. A comprehensive statewide, anti-preemptive smoke-free law is what we want and it is worth waiting for. In the meantime, we support keeping the momentum going at the local level for comprehensive smoke-free ordinances and regulations. Ellen J.

While there will be different materials developed for different audiences, we need to articulate our message to anyone and everyone about the combined local and state policy approaches without undermining either of them. We need to be careful about talking about timing or anything "strategic" in a public document. While rushing into a state law is the

wrong message, we also don't want it to sound like a statewide law is impossible. Legislators will not want to expend any political capital on something they think isn't going to happen. The "willing to wait" verbiage is for supportive legislators and partners. We do need to conduct a co-sponsorship drive along with our resolution drive and other coalition buliding efforts this session, so we need to find some kind of middle ground. The public message should be more focused on a 100% comprehensive law that covers everyone - no matter which level of government enacts it. The only thing we need to stress about the state law that's different than what we say about local laws is the importance of anti-preemptive language. It's a nuanced message and I know we are all struggling with it, but I will try to take another stab at this. We can finalize it at our meeting on October 12. As a reminder - we'll meet from 11:30 - 3 p.m. and we have a location now. We are meeting at KPHA, 140 Consumer Lane, Frankfort, KY 40601. I'll send another draft of this document and an agenda ASAP. Thanks to all for your commitment to this effort! Amy

Thanks, Jennifer. This is the only feedback I have received except that there are general concerns. I suggest that another organization draft a document that is more suitable and we are happy to react/edit. I do feel strongly that we need a one pager that is appropriate for use with all audiences. One document that does the state and local messaging in one if possible. If we have one document targeted at state lawmakers and another targeted at local communities, we run the risk of creating confusion. Dont we want one unified message? In looking at the change that Jennifer made, it looks like we are in a rush for a state law. The waiting is not an option could be construed as we want all Kentuckians protected and we cant wait. We need a clear message that we want laws, local and state, that cover all workers no matter where they work or live. And we are willing to wait for a state law that does that while the local momentum continues. I will bring my laptop to the meeting next week and am happy to make edits to this document if that is the pleasure of the group. But if someone else wants to take a stab at starting from scratch, have at it. Ellen Ellen J.

In light of the mix of audiences, as I look through it, I think that the starting statement should be something like "All Kentuckians should be protected from secondhand smoke-waiting is not an option. And then we can put the bold statement in the text underneath...see attached with track changes. Also, I do think that we don't want to suggest that we aren't trying to introduce a state law soon...we just think it will take time for the support....not sure how to word it, but think we need to be up front about the fact that we do hope one is introduced....

Hi Vanessa, John found the Falmouth city buildings ordinance. Its very short and sweet in terms of the whereas/rationale!

Also, they made a compromise about city buildings leased to non-city people that could come out of the ordinance. Thanks, Carol

Thanks for keeping us posted, Ellen. This is pretty scary, but I think you are right there is probably not much we can do from outside, other than provide advice as you have been doing. That said, Ill check our list to see how many people we have in Bowling Green. We can make sure they are connected to the locals. Who should we direct them to Carol Douglas, or Carol Riker? Just let me know. Thanks. Amy
Wanted you all to see this from Eric Gregory in Bowling Green. Given that our relationship with the group there has been sporadic, I am really not sure what any of us can do at this point. It seems they dont really have an inside game if they dont know how the new commissioner feels about smoke-free. Slim is the key, it seems. Carol Douglas has been our main point of contact and she is with the health department. I may call John Bonaguro at WKU since I have the best relationship with him. ellen Ellen J.

Ellen, Thanks for the "heads up" on the KRS. If the commission decides to fill the vacant seat with the next highest vote, it appears to be Robin Baldwin: http://www.wbko.com/home/headlines/Local_Election_2010__106486338.html I'm not sure where she stands on the issue. She should receive this email, maybe she'll let us know ; ). As far as having anyone outside the county contact the commissioners, I would be very cautious. ACS had their people review the ordinance last time and was very out of line (not our local ACS, but levels above) in the way they attempted to get Slim to change the wording. I think there are slight variations to the new ordinance (possibly to address electronic cigarettes), but Carol should be more up to date on that. I do think we need to ask Slim first if he wants it reviewed...he is the champion of this effort. I have begun contacting people who are supportive of the effort to show on Tuesday and will continue to do so.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
time, though, the risk is that the ordinance could be repealed or weakened by the new Commission. Does anyone know who is likely to replace the mayor or fill the vacancy for commissioner? It looks like Joe Denning will be the new mayor and he wasn't favorable last time. Where does he stand this time? Also, did an attorney draft the ordinance and is he/she favorable? I have asked the state smoke-free core team if anyone is available to assist by reaching out to the elected officials. If any of you can get a copy of the ordinance, we may be able to get it reviewed by our legal team. I do have a copy of what was considered last time, and the legal review. Keep in mind that once the ordinance goes past first reading, it cannot be substantially changed in any way. Also, please keep in mind that there are specific procedures outlined by KRS about special meetings (Slim was quoted as saying the second reading will be done at a special called meeting). We are experiencing a very difficult situation in Northern KY right now that might be helpful to you. First, Kenton County enacted a weak smoke-free ordinance by special meeting. It was delayed because they didn't follow the KRS procedures for special meetings (attached). Also, in the final hour, they amended the ordinance to exempt drinking establishments (and enclosed areas in places that allow alcohol) which will make the law very confusing and difficult to enforce (and it won't protect those most vulnerable). Second, Campbell County enacted a comprehensive ordinance (3-1) right before the holiday, and they are going to first reading to repeal it on Jan. 19. Jan. 1 they had a new group of commissioners who are not favorable. Third, we have seen our strongest, most organized opposition to date in NKY. The Northern Kentucky Tea Party, along with NKY Choice, the KY Libertarian Party, and others have turned out the opposition in large numbers. A few lessons learned from NKY: plan for special meetings (the opposition will try to derail in every way and they are good at it); be sure the new commissioners are in your favor and that there is a plan in place to kill a bad ordinance; and turn out advocates who stick to the health message (and keep tabs on the opposition). Unfortunately, with the holiday weekend upon us, I am unsure exactly what assistance we can provide but I am on email and available by cell phone (859-421-6948) and willing to help in any way. Good luck!! Ellen Ellen J. Hahn, PhD, RN Professor and Director, Tobacco Policy Research Program Director, Kentucky Center for Smoke-free Policy

I need your help! I just found out that the Bowling Green City Commission will introduce a Smokefree Indoor Air Ordinance this coming Tuesday, January 18th, 2011. The meeting begins at 7 pm and the ordinance is the last item out of 13 listed on the agenda. It's time to encourage everyone to come out to the city commission meeting and speak up in favor of the ordinance. It doesn't matter if you are a BG voter. If you work, visit or play in Bowling Green, they need to hear from you. You can be sure that the opposition will be there in full force! I will be contacting those of you specifically on the SF BG Ordinance workgroup to help me with potential business owner's/workers to speak at the meeting. The full agenda is listed on the BG City Commission website @ bgky.org/citycommission. If you or someone you know is interested in speaking, please have them get in touch with me..... Hang on..... This is going to be a bumpy ride!!!! Carol Douglas, BS Health Educator III Barren River District Health Department 1109 State Street P.O.

Ellen, Thanks for the "heads up" on the KRS. If the commission decides to fill the vacant seat with the next highest vote, it appears to be Robin Baldwin: http://www.wbko.com/home/headlines/Local_Election_2010__106486338.html I'm not sure where she stands on the issue. She should receive this email, maybe she'll let us know ; ). As far as having anyone outside the county contact the commissioners, I would be very cautious. ACS had their people review the ordinance last time and was very out of line (not our local ACS, but levels above) in the way they attempted to get Slim to change the wording. I think there are slight variations to the new ordinance (possibly to address electronic cigarettes), but Carol should be more up to date on that. I do think we need to ask Slim first if he wants it reviewed...he is the champion of this effort. I have begun contacting people who are supportive of the effort to show on Tuesday and will continue to do so. Eric SOK ----- Original Message -----

I know how committed you are to seeing Bowling Green go smokefree and how difficult it was in 2007 when the first attempt failed. And I am sure Slim and the Mayor want to do the right thing by taking an ordinance to first reading now given the Mayor's departure. Even if they have the votes to pass it this time, though, the risk is that the ordinance could be repealed or weakened by the new Commission. Does anyone know who is likely to replace the mayor or fill the vacancy for commissioner? It looks like Joe Denning will be the new mayor and he wasn't favorable last time. Where does he stand this time? Also, did an attorney draft the ordinance and is he/she favorable? I have asked the state smoke-free core team if anyone is available to assist by reaching out to the elected officials. If any of you can get a copy of the ordinance, we may be able to get it reviewed by our legal team. I do have a copy of what was considered last time, and the legal review. Keep in mind that once the ordinance goes past first reading, it cannot be substantially changed in any way. Also, please keep in mind that there are specific procedures outlined by KRS about special meetings (Slim was quoted as saying the second reading will be done at a special called meeting). We are experiencing a very difficult situation in Northern KY right now that might be helpful to you. First, Kenton County enacted a weak smoke-free ordinance by special meeting. It was delayed because they didn't follow the KRS procedures for special meetings (attached). Also, in the final hour, they amended the ordinance to exempt drinking establishments (and enclosed areas in places that allow alcohol) which will make the law very confusing and difficult to enforce (and it won't protect those most vulnerable). Second, Campbell County enacted a comprehensive ordinance (3-1) right before the holiday, and they are going to first reading to repeal it on Jan. 19. Jan. 1 they had a new group of commissioners who are not favorable. Third, we have seen our strongest, most organized opposition to date in NKY. The Northern Kentucky Tea Party, along with NKY Choice, the KY Libertarian Party, and others have turned out the opposition in large numbers. A few lessons learned from NKY: plan for special meetings (the opposition will try to derail in every way and they are good at it); be sure the new commissioners are in your favor and that there is a plan in place to kill a bad ordinance; and turn out advocates who stick to the health message (and keep tabs on the opposition). Unfortunately, with the holiday weekend upon us, I am unsure exactly what assistance we can provide but I am on email and available by cell phone (859-421-6948) and willing to help in any way. Good luck!!

This makes sense. I have asked our grassroots director to send out an alert encouraging folks to contact their commissioners and attend tonights meeting.
Wanted you all to see this from Eric Gregory in Bowling Green. Given that our relationship with the group there has been sporadic, I am really not sure what any of us can do at this point. It seems they dont really have an inside game if they dont know how the new commissioner feels about smoke-free. Slim is the key, it seems. Carol Douglas has been our main point of contact and she is with the health department. I may call John Bonaguro at WKU since I have the best relationship with him. ellen Ellen J.

And I am sure Slim and the Mayor want to do the right thing by taking an ordinance to first reading now given the Mayor's departure. Even if they have the votes to pass it this time, though, the risk is that the ordinance could be repealed or weakened by the new Commission. Does anyone know who is likely to replace the mayor or fill the vacancy for commissioner? It looks like Joe Denning will be the new mayor and he wasn't favorable last time. Where does he stand this time? Also, did an attorney draft the ordinance and is he/she favorable? I have asked the state smoke-free core team if anyone is available to assist by reaching out to the elected officials. If any of you can get a copy of the ordinance, we may be able to get it reviewed by our legal team. I do have a copy of what was considered last time, and the legal review. Keep in mind that
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
once the ordinance goes past first reading, it cannot be substantially changed in any way. Also, please keep in mind that there are specific procedures outlined by KRS about special meetings (Slim was quoted as saying the second reading will be done at a special called meeting). We are experiencing a very difficult situation in Northern KY right now that might be helpful to you. First, Kenton County enacted a weak smoke-free ordinance by special meeting. It was delayed because they didn't follow the KRS procedures for special meetings (attached). Also, in the final hour, they amended the ordinance to exempt drinking establishments (and enclosed areas in places that allow alcohol) which will make the law very confusing and difficult to enforce (and it won't protect those most vulnerable). Second, Campbell County enacted a comprehensive ordinance (3-1) right before the holiday, and they are going to first reading to repeal it on Jan. 19. Jan. 1 they had a new group of commissioners who are not favorable. Third, we have seen our strongest, most organized opposition to date in NKY. The Northern Kentucky Tea Party, along with NKY Choice, the KY Libertarian Party, and others have turned out the opposition in large numbers. A few lessons learned from NKY: plan for special meetings (the opposition will try to derail in every way and they are good at it); be sure the new commissioners are in your favor and that there is a plan in place to kill a bad ordinance; and turn out advocates who stick to the health message (and keep tabs on the opposition). Unfortunately, with the holiday weekend upon us, I am unsure exactly what assistance we can provide but I am on email and available by cell phone (859-421-6948) and willing to help in any way.

Importance: High I need your help! I just found out that the Bowling Green City Commission will introduce a Smokefree Indoor Air Ordinance this coming Tuesday, January 18th, 2011. The meeting begins at 7 pm and the ordinance is the last item out of 13 listed on the agenda. It's time to encourage everyone to come out to the city commission meeting and speak up in favor of the ordinance. It doesn't matter if you are a BG voter. If you work, visit or play in Bowling Green, they need to hear from you. You can be sure that the opposition will be there in full force! I will be contacting those of you specifically on the SF BG Ordinance workgroup to help me with potential business owner's/workers to speak at the meeting. The full agenda is listed on the BG City Commission website @ bgky.org/citycommission. If you or someone you know is interested in speaking, please have them get in touch with me..... Hang on.....

That's fine. It took place on a conference call. The young lady threatened Slim to make the changes they wanted based on the "size of their constituency." Slim and I both walked out of the meeting. They almost cost us the first reading single handedly. You can share that too...

Thanks for the "heads up" on the KRS. If the commission decides to fill the vacant seat with the next highest vote, it appears to be Robin Baldwin: http://www.wbko.com/home/headlines/Local_Election_2010__106486338.html I'm not sure where she stands on the issue. She should receive this email, maybe she'll let us know ; ). As far as having anyone outside the county contact the commissioners, I would be very cautious. ACS had their people review the ordinance last time and was very out of line (not our local ACS, but levels above) in the way they attempted to get Slim to change the wording. I think there are slight variations to the new ordinance (possibly to address electronic cigarettes), but Carol should be more up to date on that. I do think we need to ask Slim first if he wants it reviewed...he is the champion of this effort. I have begun contacting people who are supportive of the effort to show on Tuesday and will continue to do so.

Ellen, Thanks for the "heads up" on the KRS. If the commission decides to fill the vacant seat with the next highest vote, it appears to be Robin Baldwin: http://www.wbko.com/home/headlines/Local_Election_2010__106486338.html I'm not sure where she stands on the issue. She should receive this email, maybe she'll let us know ; ). As far as having anyone outside the county contact the commissioners, I would be very cautious. ACS had their people review the ordinance last time and was very out of line (not our local ACS, but levels above) in the way they attempted to get Slim to change the wording. I think there are slight variations to the new ordinance (possibly to address electronic cigarettes), but Carol should be more up to date on that. I do think we need to ask Slim first if he wants it reviewed...he is the champion of this effort. I have begun contacting people who are supportive of the effort to show on Tuesday and will continue to do so.

Good point, Shana. What kinds of things might make him feel undermined? (Not sure if you were referring to releasing AQ or to the conversation about Mayor Rainwater). Probably a conversation about this is best as email is just not as helpful as dialogue. I could call you tomorrow or Friday at work if you think thats Ok for you. Otherwise you could call me (619-3776) when you have a good place/time to talk. (Im tied up all today and tonite, but Thurs and Fri are better.) Or you and Susanna can talk to make sure we understand what is needed. Thanks for your input as you hold the history! Carol

Not to stick my nose in...you all have done an awesome job! Take this for what it is worth (whichis probably not much) - Judge Cassity is the one who specifically asked SFJ not to release results and if he is who the others are waiting on, it may not be such a good idea to undermine him when he may be the deciding factor. Just a thought! Good luck, you all are doing great!

Not sure what he meant by "makes ours meaningful"... maybe he's happy to be sort of an informal leader in this? And picking at words, Russ said he is "ready to meet" and "the sooner the better". Hope that means he's ready to work for SF. I can see where it might be a worry to have it go back to the Tri-Council. Are the ones who opposed it there still in office after January 1st? I do think Mayor Rainwater is right that, no matter when it starts, it will not be overnight. And we will need to have citizens call/write to policymakers and to the paper, to give the policymakers political cover. Do we have the start of an action alert list? I'm wondering about when to schedule the AQ press release if it's going back to Tri-Council, but guess we'll get a better idea after we meet with the judge and mayors. Should we tentatively set a date early in December or early in January to indicate our seriousness? (I know we had thought of connecting with the school system going T-F at the first of the year.) Also I remember that November is crazy for you, Susanna, and that we don't want to get the AQ results lost in the Christmas Holidays. We can conf call if you all want to before the Judge returns :) Thanks, Carol

This is all so exciting!! Both cities want to move forward and Nville mayor wants all to meet with Judge Cassity (who previously said December or January, if I remember right)!! Thanks for taking the lead and addressing all 3 together, Susanna! Great job! I'll be anxious to hear what Mayor Rainwater wants to do. This makes it even more important for Wilmore to adopt a good ordinance (or throw in with the others for a good county ordinance). If he wants the model ordinance electronically they would need Adobe Pro to be able to use it, unless they use the HTML version I've copied and pasted into Word (attached). Please note that it may need tweaking (refers to "this article" instead of calling it an ordinance, the fines in the non-retaliation clause may need adjustment for KY law, and we recommend 60 days before implementation so that businesses and the public may be informed of their responsibilities. Our legal consultant, Judy Owens, would be happy to help the attorneys (see one-pager, attached). I'm sure I'll process this over the next day or so and write you all again.

We are at 27 communities now (31% covered by comprehensive laws). It is very exciting indeed. All of the ones that have gone smoke free recently are very strong laws. The two most recent (Glasgow, in the heart of BPPI country) even cover e cigarettes! Bardstown and Glasgow. We are working hard but having a whole lot of fun seeing the progress. KDPH got a federal grant to hire a smoke free coordinator for a state law and we are all sweating thathoping they hire the right person and that we develop a good working relationship with that person. We got the group to agree to building capacity through local laws before we go to the state but it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I wish you well and hope you have enjoyed your position there with Adam. I know he is sad to see you go. But I am happy for you! Stay in touch please. Ellen Ellen J.

Hi Ellen, Thank you so much for letting me know about the NTR publication. That is very exciting news, and it is great to get that out there for others to consider and use in their smoke-free efforts! How is everything else going? How many more communities have gone sf?

Hi Carol, Can you please send me electronic copies of the documents on the statewide smoke-free proposal you distributed at the Board meeting last Thursday so I can attach them to the minutes? Also, the group voted to invite representatives from the sponsoring group to attend our January meeting. Can you make that happen? The meeting will be on Thursday, January 13. As you know, the meeting is from 11:45- 1:30 and they would be welcome to come for lunch and stay for the entire meeting. However, if time is an issue, we can put them on the agenda when it is most convenient. Thanks so much! Lynsey

Vanessa, 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.

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!

Actually, there's no control over what manufacturers of ECigs decide to put in their products. FDA reported that one brand actually had ethylene glycol in it, while apparently others used propylene glycol. And as far as nicotine goes, remember that it's a poison, and will be exhaled on the breath of smokers, along with whatever "flavoring agents" are put in these devices. Jim

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: smokefreecasinos-talk@googlegroups.com [smokefreecasinos-talk@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Smoke-Free Gaming [smokefreegaming@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 6:17 PM To: smokefreecasinos-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The vapor in E-Cigarettes RE: Electronic Cigarettes I met a former sales person for e-cigarettes in Las Vegas and he told me that anti-freeze and 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.

There is no regulation of what goes into these e-cigarettes. The FDA attempted to exert regulatory authority over them as a new product very overtly designed and marketed as a "nicotine delivery device" but was shot down by a federal court that ruled this to be a "tobacco product" despite there being no actual tobacco in it. I've heard radio ads that come extremely close to promoting these as effective ways to quit smoking. Yet, the nicotine replacement products must meet FDA standards while e-cigarettes are not regulated at all. With most, if not all, of the e-cigarettes being manufactured in China, keep in mind the intentional addition of melamine into food products, the recalls of children's toys and costume jewelry due to high levels of lead or cadmium, etc. The temptation of maximizing profits with little regard to consumer safety could very well carry over in the manufacture of e-cigs.

Yes, it applies to patients. They are not permitted to smoke on the property and asked to sign a document upon admission to that effect. If they are found off property, the hospital reserves the right to discharge them AMA (I dont think we have taken that measure). See our implementation guideline document for the steps we take with patients who are violating. Please note that we have standing orders for nicotine replacement while hospitalized and we do have a certified tobacco treatment specialist (a ARNP) on staff who provides assistance and counseling. It is essential to treat them for their dependence while in patient. We also are careful to follow up on discharge. Let me know if you need more information. Ellen J.

Good afternoon, I am happy to share our experiences with our tobacco-free campus initiatives both at our medical center and the entire university campus. We have a comprehensive tobacco-free policy on our campus, meaning that tobacco products (including electronic cigarettes, smokeless, spitless, etc) are not allowed anywhere on our campus. This does apply to all cars while on our campus (including parking garages). For more information about our policy, implementation guidelines, etc, go to www.uky.edu/Tobaccofree.

All of our facilities adopted a Tobacco Free Campus policy in January 2004. I know that you participated in the Kentucky Tobacco-Free Health Care Collaborative led by Elizabeth Cobb with KHA in 2008. I am interested in knowing whether your organization adopted a tobacco-free campus policy and if so whether you allow employees to smoke in their cars (while the cars are parked in your parking lots/garages). When CHC when tobacco-free, we decided to allow employees to smoke inside their personal cars. I would very much appreciate your response to this email.

Here is the report by FDA http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/ScienceResearch/UCM173250.pdf
One of my Korean colleagues measured formaldehyde from 8 products. Formaldehyde concentration was 5.2 - 13 ppm. I think this is close to the range measured in US (I am not sure reference) This level exceeds occupational exposure standard - Permissible exposure limit (PEL) by OSHA, short term exposure limit (STEL) - The employer shall assure that no employee is exposed to an airborne concentration of formaldehyde which exceeds two parts formaldehyde per million parts of air (2 ppm) as a 15-minute STEL. At 0.1 ppm of formaldehyde, sensitive people can react to the chemical. Formaldehyde is also a known human carcinogen (IARC) and a probable human carcinogen by US EPA. . --- Original Message ---

I am writing to see if either of you know if anyone has tested the vapor from e-cigarettes as to the harms from secondhand vapor. Have you or do you know anyone who has done it? Our proposed state law prohibits ecigarettes and several of our local laws do also; however, we are getting a lot of questions about the science. Given that the most recent Judges ruling is that e-cigs are tobacco products, we are encouraging that policies include e-cigs as they would other tobacco products.

Thanks so much for sending all this so we can check it out! Obviously this is a well-organized, well funded campaign. When we talked today I was walking in from the parking garage and did not have my notes with me. Ellen and I had talked right after we initially heard that there was some e-cig opposition at your meeting and she had a few suggestions. One was to offer to ghost-write an Op-ed piece for one of the docs so that the correct info about the dangers of e-cig can get out there. (Even if they were a safe and reliable way to quit smoking, there still would be nicotine released into the air from the smokers exhalations and that would stick to things in the environment and convert to carcinogens from exposure to an element in the ambient air. Nevermind antifreeze and other impurities.) It would be good to get some scientific info out to the public and perhaps we could get the Herald-Leader to pick up the op-ed from the Richmond paper. Of course letters-to-the editor would be helpful as well, since many of the opposition info got sent to the paper as well. It could be noted that state of the art laws such as Glasgow and Bardstown include e-cigarettes. Let us know what you think!! Carol

Hello Advocacy Grantees I hope you have all had a good summer. I know the work continues all times of year to promote better health for Kentuckians. Below is a reminder/update on current TA plans and news of change in staffing at Community Catalyst. TRAINING AND TA I want to remind you that we have a training and networking day set aside on Monday, October 25 in Louisville. Diane Pickles, Vice President of M+R Strategic Services, will discuss diversifying fundraising to include individual and corporate donors. You will be provided a toolkit and there will be planning time to identify the steps that make sense for your organization. Dianes experience comes from the non-profit and advocacy sector; she worked for the American Cancer Society for five years and led successful efforts to reduce smoking and second hand smoke exposure. Recently she has been working with health advocates around the country on development issues. Again, we strongly encourage you to identify staff, board members, or volunteers who would benefit from this program and could be involved in your organizations development efforts. In addition to the training segment, there will be a significant block of time for networking. Detailed information to follow. Several of you have not yet arranged to participate in or obtain an Idealware ecommunications webinar. We have extended the timeline for these through December 2010. Please take a look at their newly revamped website: http://www.idealware.org/. Besides a list of upcoming and archived webinars, there is a lot of useful information on the website on a variety of topics. Please email Laura@idealware.org to make your request and tell her you are part of the Kentucky advocacy initiative. If you have any questions or dont remember the details of this TA offering, please contact me. TRANSITION Id also like to let you know that we will be transitioning our staffing for this project and Dara Antrum, Health Advocacy Regional Manager, will begin to provide technical assistance to support your advocacy efforts. I am assuming responsibility for some new projects here at Community Catalyst. A number of you know Dara who has been leading up our Southern Health Partners project for the last several years. She already has familiarity with some of the health priorities and political-economic environment in Kentucky through this work, and is very familiar with parallel advocacy efforts in the region. I will be working with her through this transition, and as part of it wed like to schedule a call with each of you in the upcoming weeks to discuss advocacy and technical assistance priorities. In the meantime, should you want to contact her, Dara's email is dantrum@communitycatalyst.org. I will miss working more closely with you. I have enjoyed getting to know you all, learned a lot, and valued our work together. I am deeply impressed with your efforts which have been, and continue to be, so important to the welfare of your fellow Kentuckians.

Additionally we prepared a fact sheet about e-cigarettes that should help the BOH discuss the inclusion of e-cigarettes in the regulation. Also attached are the TCLC review and two articles about e-cigarettes that TCLC sent along with their review. Thanks for all your hard work for health!

Instead the actor -- who was booed and cheered in Canada -- lit up an electronic cigarette.
TMZ also reported that Sheen -- who has been smoking nearly nonstop on all of his tour performances -- found a way to circumvent Toronto's anti-smoking law during the show: by lighting up an electronic cigarette. Massey Hall management told TMZ they would have to consider shutting down the show if Sheen smoked a real cigarette onstage, saying they could be fined up to $100,000 by the city.... ************************************************ Bronson Frick Associate Director Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights 2530 San Pablo Ave., Ste.

From: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com on behalf of Liz Williams <liz.williams@no-smoke.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 9:03 PM To: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [Smokefree-Talk] Preemption Watch Bill Tracking Summary: 1/12/10 Attachments: ATT00001.htm Preemption Watch Weekly Bill Tracking Summary of U.S. State Bills www.protectlocalcontrol.org January 12, 2009 Welcome to the first Bill Tracking Summary of 2010. Most legislative sessions start up in January, so now is the time to keep our eyes open for new smokefree bills and bills that may remove or chip away at local control. Twenty-four states permit bills to carry over to the 2010 legislative session from 2009. Additionally, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Texas do not have 2010 legislative sessions and Arkansas only has a fiscal session. This year, consider setting up a Preemption Strike Force in your state 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. 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. 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:

From: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com on behalf of Liz Williams <liz.williams@no-smoke.org> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 4:48 PM To: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [Smokefree-Talk] Preemption Watch Bill Tracking Summary: 12/13/2010 Preemption Watch Weekly Bill Tracking Summary of U.S. State Bills www.protectlocalcontrol.org December 13, 2010 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. Some legislative sessions are now pre-filing bills for the 2011 session, which are included in this posting. 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. Looking forward to 2011, 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 in: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, 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. The following states have strong bills that include 100% smokefree non-hospitality workplaces and/or restaurants

http://www.scstatehouse.gov/cgi-bin/web_bh10.exe?bill1=3033&session=119 This bill requires restaurants and bars to be smokefree, but still permits smoking during private functions; in cigar bars, tobacco shops, private offices and teacher lounges of schools, private offices and designated smoking areas of government buildings, smoking areas of theaters and recreational facilities, home-based businesses, and other public places and workplaces not specifically covered by the law.

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. 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.
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: Connecticut: HB5286 (private clubs) Florida: HB211 (partial preemption repeal) Indiana: SB355 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars) Iowa : HF21 (casinos) Kansas: HB2039 (removes casino exemption) Kentucky: HB193 (workplaces, restaurants, bars, and gaming)-Posted in committee

From: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com on behalf of Liz Williams <liz.williams@no-smoke.org> Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 10:52 PM To: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [Smokefree-Talk] Preemption Watch Bill Tracking Summary: 2/18/11 Preemption Watch Weekly Bill Tracking Summary of U.S. State Bills www.protectlocalcontrol.org February 18, 2011 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. 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.no-smoke.org/pdf/preemptionstrikeforce.pdf. 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.
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: California: SB575 (workplaces) Connecticut: HB5286 (private clubs) Florida: HB211 (partial preemption repeal); SB1070 (partial preemption repeal) Indiana : SB355 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars) Iowa : HF21 (casinos) Kansas: HB2039 (removes casino exemption) Kentucky: HB193 (workplaces, restaurants, bars, and gaming)-Posted in committee Missouri: HB438 (workplaces, restaurants, bars and gaming) New Jersey: A1062 (casinos)-Carried over from 2010; S423 (casinos)-Carried over from 2010 Oklahoma: SB111 (workplaces, restaurants and bars); HB2010 (preemption repeal); HB2135 (preemption repeal)-Passed Committee and sent to full House Pennsylvania: SB35 (restaurants, bars & preemption repeal); HB412 (remove gaming exemption) Texas : HB670 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars); SB355 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars) West Virginia: SB25 (workplaces, restaurants, bars and gaming) Wyoming: SF0012 (expand local control)-Failed in Corporations Committee The following states have weak bills that include ventilation, smoking rooms, size exemptions, or other major faults or exemptions:

It also specifies that all leases shall include a provision that specifies where smoking is prohibited on the property. The bill also requires that landlords give notice of a change in a rental agreement to prohibit smoking at an unspecified date prior to the change. Preemptive: No Anti-Preemption Clause: No SB575-(workplaces)-An Act relating to employment http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0551-0600/sb_575_bill_20110217_introduced.pdf http://www.legislature.ca.gov/cgi-bin/port-postquery?bill_number=sb_575&sess=CUR&house=B&author=desaulnier This bill eliminates loopholes in the current smokefree air law so that enclosed workplaces will be 100% smokefree. Smoking would no longer be permitted in workplaces with five or fewer employees, break rooms, warehouses, hotel/motel lobbies and banquet rooms, owner-operated businesses, and it requires that 80% of hotel/motel rooms be smokefree and eliminates ventilation standards.
Preemptive: No Anti-Preemption Clause: No Connecticut HB05502-(vehicles with minors)-An Act Prohibiting Smoking In Motor Vehicles with Minor Children http://www.cga.ct.gov/2011/TOB/h/pdf/2011HB-05502-R00-HB.pdf http://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/CGABillStatus/CGAbillstatus.asp?selBillType=Bill&bill_num=HB5502 This bill would prohibit smoking in motor vehicles when children under age 6 are present.

From: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com on behalf of Liz Williams <liz.williams@no-smoke.org> Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 9:22 PM To: smokefree-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [Smokefree-Talk] Preemption Watch Bill Tracking Summary: 2/25/11 Preemption Watch Weekly Bill Tracking Summary of U.S. State Bills www.protectlocalcontrol.org February 25, 2011 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. 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.no-smoke.org/pdf/preemptionstrikeforce.pdf. 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.
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: California: SB575 (workplaces) Connecticut: HB5286 (private clubs); HB5614 (private clubs) Florida : HB211 (partial preemption repeal); SB1070 (partial preemption repeal) Indiana: SB355 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars) Iowa : HF21 (casinos) Kansas: HB2039 (removes casino exemption) Kentucky: HB193 (workplaces, restaurants, bars, and gaming)-Amendments to weaken bill introduced Missouri : HB438 (workplaces, restaurants, bars and gaming) New Jersey: A1062 (casinos)-Carried over from 2010; S423 (casinos)-Carried over from 2010 Oklahoma: SB111 (workplaces, restaurants and bars); HB2010 (preemption repeal); HB2135 (preemption repeal)-Passed Committee and sent to full House Pennsylvania: SB35 (restaurants, bars & preemption repeal); HB412 (remove gaming exemption) Texas : HB670 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars)-Scheduled for public hearing on 3/2; SB355 (workplaces, restaurants, and bars)-Scheduled for public hearing on 3/1 West Virginia: SB25 (workplaces, restaurants, bars and gaming) Wyoming: SF0012 (expand local control)-Failed in Corporations Committee The following states have weak bills that include ventilation, smoking rooms, size exemptions, or other major faults or exemptions:
