Introduction

At Ramsey Tobacco Coalition (RTC), we enthusiastically combat the influence of the tobacco industry within Minnesota. RTC is a program of the Association for Nonsmokers-MN (ANSR). ANSR is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the human and economic costs of tobacco use in Minnesota. Our core commitments are to reduce the number of young smokers and to continuously advocate for the rights and health of nonsmokers.

RTC has had a number of successes in battling the tobacco industry:  Eight communities passed tobacco-free parks policies  JazzFest and Rondo Days do not accept tobacco industry funding  Ramsey County passed a smoke-free indoor air law in 2005  In 2009, the Saint Paul City Council passed the Imitation Tobacco and Novelty Lighter bill banning candy cigarettes and bubblegum cigars. Youth advocates testified in support of the bill.

The Ramey Tobacco Coalitions has received funding from the Minnesota Department of Health and ClearWay Minnesota to do the following:  Update local tobacco retail licensing provisions in cities. This could involve educating community members about tobacco industry influences (including new tobacco products), and how to create policy change around these issues.  Complete community assessment of single little cigars including frequency, impact, community readiness and decision maker interest; Educate the Saint Paul community about little cigars; Identify policy options available for reducing single cigar sales in Saint Paul.  Reduce point-of-sale tobacco advertising in St. Paul through continued enforcement of new sign code restrictions.  Increase the number of smoke-free multi-unit housing policies in Ramsey County.  Complete an assessment of community and political environment to determine if smoke-free foster care is feasible for project area (Ramsey County). The long term goal is to pass a 24/7 smoke-free foster care policy at the county level.  Update and strengthen local tobacco ordinances. These would be “going further” ordinances such as prohibiting flavors, singles, and little cigars. Complete assessments in cities that have already updated their ordinances to mirror the tobacco modernization act.  Build coalition support for statewide tobacco prevention initiatives such a as increasing the tobacco tax and smoke-free foster care.

Almost 90% of tobacco users began the habit as teens, and the industry is heavily recruiting youth to become their next generation of customers. The following lesson plans are a tool to help students work toward a goal of understanding, assessing, and sharing information on tobacco adverting and marketing practices in venues licensed to sell tobacco. The lessons build upon each other and should be followed in order, to lay the foundation for completing an in store assessment and sharing the findings with the community. By conducting the in store assessment, student groups will gain a better understanding of the tobacco industry’s influence within their community and be able to assist in policy change.

BB Demonstration (Adapted from Beyond War)

Directions  Turn off lights & have students put their head down on desk and close eyes.  Read from the script.  Pour in the bbs/popcorn seeds into the metal container SLOWLY as stated on script.

Script  We all know that tobacco is harmful to our health, but few of us really understand just how harmful it is.  To give you a new perspective on the problem of tobacco, I’m going to ask you to think about what kills more people each year: hard drugs, alcohol, or tobacco?

 Here I have a metal BB. Now listen to the sound it makes when I throw it into this kettle. o Throw one bb into the kettle.  Let the sound of one BB represent one death.

 First, let’s think for a moment about hard drugs – cocaine, crack, heroin. You think they’re bad, right? They are. They can kill you.  Here’s how many people will die from a drug overdose everyday in this country. o Pour 16 bbs slowly into the kettle.  That represents 16 people who will die from these drugs everyday. That’s about 5,700 people every year.

 What about alcohol? Do you think alcohol is bad for you? It is. If abused, it can kill you.  Here’s how many people will die from alcohol everyday in this country. o Pour 342 bbs slowly into the kettle.  That represents 342 people who will die from alcohol everyday. That’s about 125,000 every year.

 Finally, tobacco.  Listen to how many people will die from tobacco each and everyday in this country. o Pour 1,180 bbs slowly into the kettle.  That represents 1,180 people who will die from tobacco everyday. That’s about 430,000 people every year.

 Three out of four people who are dying from tobacco started using tobacco before they were 18 years old. About half of them started before they were even 13 years old.

TOBACCO KILLS…maybe not instantaneously such as caused by hard drugs but, think about this: the tobacco industry must recruit 5,000 new smokers everyday in order to replace those who have quit or died. This means that the tobacco industry needs to recruit kids.

Remember, tobacco is the only legal consumer product in the United States today that, when used as intended, WILL KILL YOU.

Engaging Questions to Ask  What do you think?  Did you know that that many people are affected by tobacco?  How did you feel when the bbs kept pouring and pouring into the kettle?

Cards: What’s in Tobacco?

Acetone  Used in solvents. For example, it is used for thinning and cleaning fiberglass resins and epoxies (e.g., superglue). It is the main ingredient in nail polish remover and paint remover, and is a heavy-duty degreaser.  The liver breaks down small amounts of acetone to create energy for normal bodily function.  Causes skin irritation, headaches, light-headedness, confusion, nausea, vomiting, increased heart rate, and shortening of the menstrual cycle. High levels irritate noses, lungs, throats, and eyes. Extreme levels cause unconsciousness and coma. Long- term exposure causes liver and kidney damage.

Acrylonitrile (vinyl cyanide)  Used in fumigants, synthetic resins, plastics, and rubber.  A suspected human carcinogen.

Ammonia  Used in explosives, fertilizers, refrigerants, household cleaning fluids, and as a fuel.  A toxic gas.  Increases the effectiveness of nicotine. By adding ammonia to cigarettes, nicotine in its vapor form absorbs through the lungs more quickly. This means the brain gets a higher dose of nicotine with each puff.  Causes irritation to the respiratory tract, coughing, irritation to the nose and throat, cramps, diarrhea, elevated blood pressure, anemia, asthma, paralysis, and malignant skin tumors.

Arsenic  Used in pesticides, oil paints, and tempera paints.  A toxic metal.  Arsenic pesticides are used on tobacco plants around the world and are absorbed into the plant.  Low levels cause nausea, vomiting, decreased production of red and white blood cells, damage to blood vessels, a sensation of pins and needles in hands and feet, and an abnormal heart rhythm. High levels of inorganic arsenic causes throat and lung irritation, and increases the risk of cancer in the lungs, skin, bladder, liver, kidney, and prostate.

Benzene  Used in explosives, napalm, pesticides, industrial solvents, paint remover, gasoline, drugs, lubricants, lacquers, resins, adhesives, nailetics, plastics, rubber, rubber cement, tire repair, Nylon, detergents, dyes, and inks.  Highly toxic chemical.  Causes extreme bleeding and problems with the immune system thus increasing the risk for infection. High levels cause drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, rapid heart rate, tremors, confusion, unconsciousness, and death. Animal studies prove that high levels cause low birth weights, delayed bone formation, and bone marrow damage. The predominant threat is blood-related in that it causes ill health effects to the bone marrow, causing a decrease in the production of red blood cells resulting in anemia. Causes cancer/leukemia.

This true metal is highly resistant to corrosion, and because of this property, it is used to contain corrosive liquids (e.g., sulfuric acid).  A toxic metal.  Affects the body whether breathed or swallowed. Exposure is more toxic to children, resulting in cognitive deficits and other health problems. Low levels increase blood pressure. High levels cause weakness in fingers, wrists, and ankles. Damages almost every bodily organ, specifically the kidneys and the reproductive system. Causes stomach problems, affects blood cell production resulting in anemia, stunts growth, delays puberty in girls, disrupts the male reproductive system, damages central nervous system, affects memory (brain damage), causes dementia, linked to schizophrenia, and causes death. Causes cancer.

Nickel  Used in alkaline batteries, stainless steel and other metal alloys, magnets, and coinage. It is also used for plating and as a green tint in glass.  A metal.  Causes allergic reactions or skin rashes. People sensitive to nickel suffer upper respiratory irritation, asthma attacks, chronic bronchitis, and reduced lung function. Increases propensity to lung infections. Lung and nasal sinus cancer may result from breathing dust containing high levels.

Phenol  Used in herbicides, disinfectants, drugs, an injection that stops transmitting pulses of sensory nerves, surgeries to prevent re-growth of ingrown nails, exfoliant in cosmetic surgeries, oral anesthetics, resins for plywood and other construction materials, epoxy resins, and plastics.  Highly toxic chemical.  Used medically as an antiseptic or anesthetic.  Causes skin, mucus membrane, and eye irritation. Exposure leads to diarrhea, dark urine, and hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia is a condition where a deficient amount of red blood cells circulate due to premature destruction of red blood cells. High levels affect the liver, kidney, respiratory, cardiovascular, and central nervous system.

Stearic acid  Used in plastics, oil pastels, candles, soaps, and cosmetics, to coat metal powders in fireworks, and for softening rubber.

Vinyl chloride  Used as a polymer, and used to make PVC pipes, packaging materials, and garbage bags.  High exposure causes headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, and sleepiness, with severe cases progressing to hallucinations, unconsciousness, and death by respiratory failure. People working with vinyl chloride develop severe nerve damage and immune reactions. Depresses the central nervous system. Causes cell mutations that may lead to cancer. High levels cause death.

Chemicals in Tobacco

Cigarettes contain approximately 600 ingredients and additives (they get into the tobacco plant from fertilizers, the soil, the curing process, etc.). In cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoke, there are over 4,000 chemicals including 69 carcinogens and about 400 other toxins. Some of these chemicals are found naturally in unburned tobacco and release as it burns, while other chemicals are created while it burns. Spit tobacco contains over 3,000 chemicals including 28 known carcinogens.

Cancer causing chemicals: All are extremely toxic.

Reading Ingredients Labels

Supplies Needed The labeled items from the Activity Kit. The Activity Kit may include:  Frozen entree  Bottle of water  Candy  Dog treat  Lotion  Pack of cigarettes

Directions  Ask for new volunteers. You will need as many volunteers as your kit has items.  Hand each volunteer an item.  Ask each volunteer to find the ingredients label on the item, leaving the cigarettes for last. Have them state the first two ingredients. When you get to the cigarettes, the ingredients are not listed!

Engaging Questions to Ask  What do these items have in common? (Answer: They are consumables – except for the dog treat, you put them in or on your body.)  Why doesn’t the pack of cigarettes list its ingredients? Doesn’t the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) require that everything be listed? (Answer: The FDA requires every company except the tobacco industry to list their ingredients. The tobacco industry spends billions of dollars lobbying our elected officials for exemptions from these kinds of the laws.) o Example: If I gave you $1,000 to never wear that shirt again, would you? You probably would take the money and not wear the shirt again. This is similar to what the tobacco companies do. They give our elected officials billions of dollars to make sure that they don’t have to follow the same rules that other companies must follow.

*Note: In the late 1990’s, the FDA attempted to regulate cigarettes. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the FDA did not have the authority to do so, stating that Congress did not give the FDA authority to regulate tobacco products under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.
