    Electronic (E-) Cigarettes and Secondhand Aerosol

    Defending your right to breathe smokefree air since 1976 Electronic (e-) Cigarettes and Secondhand Aerosol “If you are around somebody who is using e-cigarettes, you are breathing an aerosol of exhaled nicotine, ultra-fine particles, volatile organic compounds, and other toxins,” Dr. Stanton Glantz, Director for the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco. Current Legislative Landscape As of January 2, 2014, 108 municipalities and three states include e-cigarettes as products that are prohibited from use in smokefree environments. Constituents of Secondhand Aerosol E-cigarettes do not just emit “harmless water vapor.” Secondhand e-cigarette aerosol (incorrectly called vapor by the industry) contains nicotine, ultrafine particles and low levels of toxins that are known to cause cancer. E-cigarette aerosol is made up of a high concentration of ultrafine particles, and the particle concentration is higher than in conventional tobacco cigarette smoke.1 Exposure to fine and ultrafine particles may exacerbate respiratory ailments like asthma, and constrict arteries which could trigger a heart attack.2 At least 10 chemicals identified in e-cigarette aerosol are on California’s Proposition 65 list of carcinogens and reproductive toxins, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. The compounds that have already been identified in mainstream (MS) or secondhand (SS) e-cigarette aerosol include: Acetaldehyde (MS), Benzene (SS), Cadmium (MS), Formaldehyde (MS,SS), Isoprene (SS), Lead (MS), Nickel (MS), Nicotine (MS, SS), N-Nitrosonornicotine (MS, SS), Toluene (MS, SS).3,4 E-cigarettes contain and emit propylene glycol, a chemical that is used as a base in e- cigarette solution and is one of the primary components in the aerosol emitted by e-cigarettes.

  • BRFSS Brief Electronic Cigarette

    BRFSS Brief Electronic Cigarette

    BRFSS Brief Number 2020-01 The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual statewide telephone survey of adults developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and administered by the New York State Department of Health. The BRFSS is designed to provide information on behaviors, risk factors, and utilization of preventive services related to the leading causes of chronic and infectious diseases, disability, injury, and death among the noninstitutionalized, civilian population aged 18 years and older. Electronic Cigarette Use New York State Adults, 2017 Introduction and Key Findings Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are battery-powered devices that heat a solution of liquid nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals creating an aerosol that is inhaled by the user. E-cigarettes are known by many different names including e-cigs, vapes, vape pens, e-hookahs, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Using an e-cigarette is called vaping. E-cigarettes are not a United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved smoking cessation aid and their usefulness as a cessation aid is unproven. With or without nicotine, e-cigarettes are not hazard-free and e- cigarette aerosol is not simply water vapor; the aerosol may contain heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, ultrafine particles, and other toxins.1 In addition, e-cigarette use can undermine social norms about tobacco, delay cessation among cigarette smokers, and increase the risk of ever using combustible tobacco cigarettes among youth and young adults.1 The long-term health risks of e-cigarettes will not be known for decades. The FDA has extended regulatory authority to all tobacco products including e-cigarettes.2 But the FDA approach to regulation of e-cigarettes is being phased in over time, may be delayed by litigation, and effective regulation may be years away.

    Juul and Other High Nicotine E-Cigarettes Are Addicting a New Generation of Youth

    JUUL AND OTHER HIGH NICOTINE E-CIGARETTES ARE ADDICTING A NEW GENERATION OF YOUTH Launched in 2015, JUUL quickly disrupted the e-cigarette marketplace, popularizing e-cigarette devices that are sleek, discreet and have sweet flavors and a powerful nicotine hit. Nicotine is highly addictive, can negatively impact the development of the adolescent brain, and can harm the cardiovascular system.1 Youth e-cigarette use in the United States has skyrocketed to what the U.S. Surgeon General and the FDA have called “epidemic” levels, with 3.6 million middle and high school students using e- cigarettes. 2 Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has stated, “There’s no question the Juul product drove a lot of the youth use.”3 The Surgeon General has called for “aggressive steps to protect our children from these highly potent products that risk exposing a new generation of young people to nicotine.”4 Use of Nicotine Salts Makes it Easier for New Users to Try E-Cigarettes Just like the tobacco industry has used additives and design changes to make cigarettes more addictive and appealing to new users (particularly youth),5 JUUL pioneered a new e-liquid formulation that delivers nicotine more effectively and with less irritation than earlier e-cigarette models. According to the company, the nicotine in JUUL is made from “nicotine salts found in leaf tobacco, rather than free-base nicotine,” in order to “accommodate cigarette-like strength nicotine levels.”6 JUUL’s original patent stated that, “certain nicotine salt formulations provide satisfaction in an individual superior to that of free base nicotine, and more comparable to the satisfaction in an individual smoking a traditional cigarette.

    Regulating E-Cigarettes Regulating E-Cigarettes

    Regulating E-cigarettes Regulating E-Cigarettes The introduction of electronic cigarettes (or e-cigarettes) in countries around the world poses new challenges to governments wanting to protect youth and reduce tobacco use. Policies governing e-cigarettes must be guided by an assessment of the impact of these products on the pace of progress in reducing the death and disease caused by tobacco use. The evidence around the health harms from e-cigarettes and their impact on young people is evolving. Any assessment of the evidence has to consider the impact on both individual smokers and the population as a whole. While e-cigarettes may have health benefits to individual smokers if they are proven to help smokers quit completely, they are nevertheless harmful to public health if they lead to more young people starting, if they renormalize tobacco use, and/or if they discourage smokers from quitting. The World Health Organization has concluded that e-cigarettes are “undoubtedly harmful” and that countries “that have not banned [e-cigarettes] should consider regulating them as harmful products.” 1 This is consistent with the general obligations of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which require Parties to the Convention to implement measures for preventing and reducing nicotine addiction. 2 In the absence of effective government regulation, e-cigarettes could create a new generation of nicotine and tobacco users and undermine the progress made in combatting the tobacco epidemic. This policy brief uses a three-step process to assist government officials in determining how to regulate e-cigarettes to fit their country circumstances while balancing competing public health considerations: 1.

A Pilot Study of Retail ‘Vape Shops’ in the San Francisco Bay Area Andrea D Burbanka,*, Johannes Thrula,*, and Pamela M Linga aUniversity of California, San Francisco, United States Abstract INTRODUCTION—The use of electronic cigarettes or vape devices is increasing, and products are evolving rapidly. This study assessed retail vape shops in the San Francisco Bay Area to describe store characteristics, products offered, advertisements and health claims, as well as employees’ perceptions of their customers’ demographics, and practices to support smoking cessation. METHODS—We conducted store audits of shops that exclusively sell vape devices with physical addresses in San Francisco and Alameda counties (n=23, response rate 72%) and interviewed vape shop owners/employees. RESULTS—While all stores carried second and third generation vape devices, 83% of stores did not carry first generation devices. Employees estimated the majority of their customers bought devices for smoking cessation or to replace tobacco, and a small minority purchased for first-time recreational use.
