and being marketed like cigarettes were in the 1950s and 1960s• Marketing is back on television and
radio• All the major cigarette companies

history of making false and misleading public statements regarding their control of the nicotine content and delivery of their products

Youth and e-cigarettes
• Youth are rapidly adopting e-cigarettes• High levels of dual use • Youth who use e-cigarettes are heavier (not lighter) smokers
• Youth who use e-cigarettes are much less likely to have stopped smoking

Utah Surveillance Data• Prevention Needs Assessment (PNA) – Youth Data
(Grades 8, 10, 12)• Conducted in Utah schools in odd years with a sample
of more than 50,000 students in grades 6, 8, 10, 12• Is considered a randomized, representative sample.
• Use rates doubled among youth who reported they had tried e-cigarettes
• Despite having no legal access to e-cigarettes, Utah youth are three times more likely to report current use than adults
• Nearly one-third of Utah youth who tried e-cigarettes report they never tried conventional cigarettes: 31.7%

WM Community Survey (Convenience Sample Data)• 386 youth surveys collected between 7/1/2013 to
10/6/2013 from those who attended local pubic events and that were willing to take the survey
• Questions centered on e-cigarette use, as well as knowledge and attitudes toward policies, health risks and access to e-cigarettes
• Results cannot be generalized, instead it helps us to understand more of what may be happening in our community.

E-cigarette Laws and Policy gaps
FDA Authority over Tobacco ProductsHas authority to regulate• Product
• Whether to regulate as new products or “modified risk products”(for which health claims can be made). The latter process much harder for manufacturers to obtain approval, so likely that e-cigarettes will mostly be marketed as new tobacco products
• How the product is marketed
• NO authority over where e-cigarettes are used and how they are taxed and whether they are even sold
Current Utah Law-E-cigarettes
• Utah Indoor Clean Air Act §26-38-2(1),(4)(c)
• Youth Access §76-10-104 and §76-10-105
• Schools §53-A-11-902(5)(a)through(d) and §76-10-101
Regulatory Gaps in Utah Law• Definition of tobacco products
• E-cigs are inconsistently defined as tobacco products in state code
• Youth access• Online sales, free samples, paraphernalia
• Retail• Local health departments do not have the authority to
conduct compliance checks on e-cigarettes. Only law enforcement currently has the authority.
• No requirement for state tobacco retail license
• Schools• Definition of paraphernalia
DR. GRO HARLEM BRUNTLAND, FORMER DIRECTOR-GENERAL of the World
Health Organization:
“If we do not act decisively, a hundred years from now our grandchildren and their children will look back and seriously question how people claiming to be committed to public health and social justice allowed the tobacco epidemic to unfold unchecked.”
