Brief Description: Protecting public health and safety by enhancing the regulation of vapor products. Sponsors: Senators Kuderer, Cleveland, Wilson, C., Carlyle, Das and Darneille; by request of Office of the Governor. Brief History: Committee Activity: Health & Long Term Care: 1/22/20. Brief Summary of Bill Requires that all vapor product manufacturers be licensed by the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) and requires manufacturers and distributors to submit a list of product ingredients to the Department of Health (DOH). Prohibits manufacturer licensees from also holding a retailer or delivery sales license. Permits LCB to restrict the sale of vapor products if DOH has determined the product may be injurious to human health. Bans the sale of vapor products containing vitamin E acetate and flavored vapor products, other than tobacco flavored products. Limits nicotine concentrations in vapor products. SENATE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH & LONG TERM CARE Staff: Greg Attanasio (786-7410) Background: No person may conduct business as a retailer, distributor, or delivery seller of vapor products in the state without a valid license issued by LCB. A licensee must allow LCB enforcement officers to make full inspection of any place of business or vehicle where any vapor products are sold, stored, transported, or handled. –––––––––––––––––––––– This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative members in their deliberations.

    New Pharmacological Agents to Aid Smoking Cessation and Tobacco Harm Reduction: What has been Investigated and What is in the Pipeline? Emma Beard1,2, Lion Shahab1, Damian M. Cummings3, Susan Michie2 & Robert West1 1 University College London, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, London, UK 2 University College London, Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, London, UK 3 University college London, Department of Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology, London, UK Running header: New Agents for smoking cessation and tobacco harm reduction Word count: 12,739 Journal: Invited by CNS drugs Correspondence: Emma Beard, Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Research Centre, University College London, WC1E 6BP, UK. Email: [email protected]. Tel: 0203 108 3179 Abstract A wide range of support is available to help smokers to quit and aid attempts at harm reduction, including three first-line smoking cessation medications: nicotine replacement therapy, varenicline and bupropion. Despite the efficacy of these, there is a continual need to diversify the range of medications so that the needs of tobacco users are met. This paper compares the first-line smoking cessation medications to: 1) two variants of these existing products: new galenic formulations of varenicline and novel nicotine delivery devices; and 2) twenty-four alternative products: cytisine (novel outside of central and eastern Europe), nortriptyline, other tricyclic antidepressants, electronic cigarettes, clonidine (an anxiolytic), other anxiolytics (e.g. buspirone), selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors, supplements (e.g. St John’s wort), silver acetate, nicobrevin, modafinil, venlafaxine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), opioid antagonist, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) antagonists, glucose tablets, selective cannabinoid type 1 receptor antagonists, nicotine vaccines, drugs that affect gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transmission, drugs that affect N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA), dopamine agonists (e.g.

G.B. Stern It is an unequivocal fact that I would not have completed this dissertation without the help and support of the numerous individuals and institutions that have contributed to my professional and personal development over the years. There is no amount of pages, no amount of words that could fully express my deep and explicit gratitude. For helping turn my dissertation proposal into a reality, I thank the organizations with which I was lucky enough to conduct fieldwork in Argentina: Intercambios Asociación Civil, Asociación de Reducción de Daños de Argentina, and El Retoño. I am particularly indebted to Cristian Coman, Pablo Cymerman, Paula Goltzman, Silvia Inchaurraga, Ricardo Paveto, Graciela Radulich, Julia Recchi, Diana Rossi, Graciela Touzé, and Enrique Vivas for their time, endless patience, and prudent guidance. Without the incredible cooperation and assistance of these institutions and individuals, their colleagues, and their collaborators, this dissertation would never have come to fruition. For teaching me how to navigate the fascinatingly foreign landscape and language of Argentina, I thank Hernán Bongioanni, María Epele, Juan Cruz Gallego Heguilen, Glenda Pérez, Eleonora Pfister, Mariana Ramirez, Sebastián Rojo, and Marcela Vitarelli. Without question, their friendships are what kept me sane and grounded during the confusing and often lonely experience of fieldwork.

No war to date required nor mobilized the amount of materiél that was consumed from 1914-1918. These efforts included not only the physical organization and deployment of men and supplies. Recent scholarship has shown that morale was also mobilized and remobilized during the war. This study focuses on where these efforts converge: the use of everyday psychoactive stimulants and their effects on morale at the front, and the economic mobilization of these goods and industries en masse. As such, this project highlights the importance of a variety of agricultural products that are quite unnecessary to human subsistence, but have nonetheless come to be considered indispensable from everyday consumption. These ordinary goods include sugar, tobacco, coffee, tea, as well as alcoholic beverages.
