  • Electronic Cigarettes
    ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES WHAT ARE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES? Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are battery-operated devices that contain a mixture of liquid nicotine and other chemicals. The device heats this mixture, called e-juice, producing a nicotine aerosol that is inhaled. E-cigarettes are also called e-hookahs, e-pipes, vape pens, hookah pens or personal vaporizers. E-CIGARETTES ARE NOT PROVEN SAFE. There is currently no evidence that using e-cigarettes or inhaling the secondhand emissions from an e-cigarette is safe. Studies have found nicotine, heavy metals, toxins, and carcinogens in e-cigarette aerosol.1, 2, 3, 4 Blu is the market leader in e-cigarette sales. It is heavily marketed by celebrities. FDA NOW REGULATING E-CIGARETTES. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began a two-year process in 2016 to establish basic regulations for e-cigarettes. Before this, e-cigarettes were completely unregulated. These regulations: • Prohibit free samples of e-cigarette liquid made or derived from tobacco. • Require a thorough review process for any product marketed after Feb. 15, 2007. • Prohibit sales to minors. • Require manufacturers of e-cigarettes, liquid, or components and parts of electronic cigarettes to register with the FDA. • Prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes from vending machines, unless in an adult-only facility. • Prohibit sellers from claiming that their products are less hazardous than smoking unless they provide sufficient evidence to the agency. NJOY is a top seller and seeks to mimic • Require manufacturers to submit a list of ingredients for e-cigarette liquid. the feel of smoking. • Place warning labels on products.

Some industry trade groups refer to these products as Personal Electronic Vaporizing Units (PEVUs). Throughout this paper, the term “e-cigarette” is used broadly to include all types of electronic smoking devices. Global Advisors on Smokefree Policy1 (“GASP”) has many health concerns regarding e-cigarette use and exposure, which are documented in this paper. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, the World Health Organization, and national advocacy organizations also voice their concerns about e-cigarettes. Local, county, state and international jurisdictions are restricting or banning the sale or use of e- cigarette products. I. Laws and Policies New Jersey restricts e-cigarette sales and use New Jersey was the first state in the nation to ban the use of e-cigarettes in public places and workplaces, effective March 13, 2010. On January 11, 2010, Governor Corzine signed into law A4227/A4228/S3053/S3054, banning e-cigarette use in public places and workplaces (amended 2006 NJ Smokefree Air Act), and banning e-cigarette sales to people 18 years and younger. The New Jersey Senate and Assembly both voted unanimously in favor of the law. See http://njgasp.org/sfaa_2010_w-ecigs.pdf and njleg.state.nj.us/2008/Bills/A4500/4227_U1.pdf.

  • Electronic Cigarettes
    Electronic Cigarettes WHAT IS AN ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE? Electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes, are battery operated nicotine vaporizers that are produced primarily in China.1 E-cigarettes often look like a traditional cigarette but do not produce smoke. The use of e-cigarettes is referred to as “vaping” rather than “smoking.” E-cigarette users purchase cartridges filled with liquid nicotine and other substances, attach the cartridge onto the e-cigarette battery, and breathe in nicotine vapor produced by a small heating element. The cartridges are sold in many flavors such as cherry, bubblegum, One example of a rechargeable e-cigarette model vanilla, and fruit punch, making them appealing to youth.2 Disposable e-cigarettes sell for about $5 and rechargeable e-cigarettes cost up to $120. E-cigarettes are often advertised as a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes; however, the potential health risks associated with these products is not known. Liquid nicotine found in e-cigarettes is derived from tobacco; however, most of the devices do not contain any tobacco. Similar to tobacco cigarettes, heavy metals, carcinogens, silicate, and nanoparticles (which can go deep into the lungs) have been found in e-cigarette vapor.3 ARE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES REGULATED? The production and manufacturing of e-cigarettes is poorly regulated.4,5 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has noted that “quality “blu” is a brand of electronic cigarettes manufactured control processes used to manufacture these products are inconsistent by Lorillard, the company that makes Newport ciga- rettes. It is purposefully designed to look different or nonexistent.” For example, three different e-cigarette cartridges with than a cigarette for use by consumers in places with the same label were tested and each cartridge released a substantially smoke-free policies.

  • Framework to Estimate Total Particulate Mass and Nicotine
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Framework to Estimate Total Particulate Mass and Nicotine Delivered to E-cig Users from Received: 2 August 2018 Accepted: 23 May 2019 Natural Environment Monitoring Published: xx xx xxxx Data Edward C. Hensel 1, Nathan C. Eddingsaas2, A. Gary DiFrancesco1, Shehan Jayasekera1, Sean O’Dea2 & Risa J. Robinson1 A framework describing the joint efect of user topography behavior and product characteristics of one exemplar device on the total particulate mass (TPM) and aerosol constituent yield delivered to a user is presented and validated against seven user-specifc ‘playback’ emissions observations. A pen-style e-cig was used to collect emissions across puf fow rates and durations spanning the range observed in the natural environment. Emissions were analyzed with GC-MS and used to construct empirical correlations for TPM concentration and nicotine mass ratio. TPM concentration was demonstrated to depend upon both puf fow rate and duration, while nicotine mass ratio was not observed to be fow-dependent under the conditions presented. The empirical model for TPM and nicotine yield demonstrated agreement with experimental observations, with Pearson correlation coefcients of r = 0.79 and r = 0.86 respectively. The mass of TPM and nicotine delivered to the mouth of an e-cig user are dependent upon the pufng behavior of the user. Product-specifc empirical models of emissions may be used in conjunction with participant-specifc topography observations to accurately quantify the mass of TPM and nicotine delivered to a user. Te purpose of this work is to develop an approach to predict on a per-person, per device, per consumable basis the total particulate mass and nicotine yield delivered to the mouth of an Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) user, given knowledge of the tobacco product characteristics and the user’s topography and consumption behavior.

  • House Committee on Energy & Commerce Subcommittee On
    House Committee on Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations “Vaping in America: E-Cigarette Companies’ Impact on Public Health” Testimony of Ryan Nivakoff, CEO of NJOY, LLC February 5, 2020 Good morning, Chair DeGette, Ranking Member Guthrie, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee. My name is Ryan Nivakoff and I am CEO of NJOY. Thank you for the opportunity to testify today to discuss with you the important public health dynamics associated with electronic cigarettes. I am humbled to be here today to provide NJOY’s insights into this complex and vitally important conversation. By way of background, I joined NJOY for deeply personal reasons. As I am sure is the case with many of the people in this room, my family has been victimized by one of the most deadly articles of commerce ever created: the combustible cigarette. As a boy, I watched as my Grandmother perished well before her time and as my once virile Grandfather, a veteran of the Army and Marine Corps and a police officer for over 38 years, spent the last 6 years of his life attached feebly to an oxygen tank, unable to even sit up without losing his breath. It is with these horrifying memories in mind that I joined NJOY and wrote our mission statement to “Make Smoking History” by helping adults find an alternative to combustible cigarettes. 1 From Day 1 it was clear to me that neither we at NJOY nor other pioneers in harm-reduction would be able to advance that mission if the public health benefits of electronic cigarettes were overshadowed by a surge of youth use.

    New Products Kit This kit has been prepared for your use to show the new products that you educate on locally. The best attempt was made to keep the products at actual size, but some are not actual size. Information on each product type is included beside the photo. There are multiple products for each category and some information may apply across the board to that category. Additional information on these products can be found in the new products webinar. This format is in printable pdf. In the event you would like to cut the images out and use them for a display, the image sizes have all been scaled to 5 x 7 photo size. If you have any questions or need further assistance with new products education, please email your CHC. Traditional Cigarettes In our new products kit, we have the Marlboro cigarettes and new varieties that have come on to the market. Marlboro Eighty-Threes are slightly longer than the traditional cigarette. Marlboro Black—aside from the name and package design (which may be targeting the African American crowd) these look very similar in appearance to your traditional cigarette. Outside of the package, the cigarette paper wrapping is not black in color, it looks just like a traditional cigarette. Marlboro Edge—aside from the packaging looking different from other Marlboro cigarettes, when you open the package, the cigarettes inside look like any other Marlboro cigarette. There is no noticeable difference in appearance. There is however, the visible advertising difference that the Edge has a ‘bold smooth flavor’ as compared to the “bold flavor” seen advertised on the Marlboro Black.
