Suggested   Talking   Points   ­  Place   Ban  ●

(Please   choose   a  few   of   the   points   below   ­­   topics   you   are   most   comfortable   discussing.)  

  1) You   are   a  resident   and   you   oppose   banning   e­cigarette   use   where   smoking   is   prohibited.  ( If   you   are  responding   to   a  Call   to   Action   or   Local   Alert   for   a  city   or   state   in   which   you   are   not   a  resident,  please   mention   any   connection   you   have   to   the   area,   for   example,   you   travel   there   on   vacation   or  have   friends/family   in   the   area. )    2) Other   governments   are   taking   exactly   the   opposite   approach;   Public   Health   England   (the  government   public   health   agency)   and   The   Royal   College   of   Physicians   (a   500   year   old   association  of   32,000   medical   professionals   in   the   UK)   recently   explicitly   endorsed   a  policy   of   encouraging  smokers   to   switch   to   e­cigarettes   and   vapor   products  ( https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/e­cigarettes­an­evidence­update )  ( https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/nicotine­without­smoke­tobacco­harm­reduction­0 ).    3) Tell   your   story   on   how   switching   to   an   e­cigarette   has   changed   your   life.   (Avoid   using   slang   terms  such   as   "juice.")    4) Clarify   that:  a) Smoking   bans   are   ostensibly   enacted   to   protect   the   public   from   the   harm   of   secondhand  smoke,   but   e­cigarettes   have   not   been   found   to   pose   a  risk   to   bystanders.   In   fact,   all  evidence   to   date   shows   that   the   low   health   risks   associated   with   e­cigarettes   are  comparable   to   other   smokeless   nicotine   products.  b) The   low   risks   of   e­cigarettes   is   supported   by   research   done   by   Dr.   Siegel   of   Boston  University,   Dr.   Eissenberg   of   Virginia   Commonwealth,   Dr   Maciej   L  Goniewicz   of   the  Roswell   Park   Cancer   Institute,   Dr.   Laugesen   of   Health   New   Zealand,   Dr.   Igor   Burstyn   of  Drexel   University,   and   by   the   fact   that   the   FDA   testing,   in   spite   of   its   press   statement,   failed  to   find   harmful   levels   of   carcinogens   or   toxic   levels   of   any   chemical   in   the   vapor.  c)   A  comprehensive   review   conducted   by   Dr.   Igor   Burstyn   of   Drexel   University   School   of  Public   Health   based   on   over   9,000   observations   of   e­cigarette   liquid   and   vapor   found   "no  apparent   concern"   for   bystanders   exposed   to   e­cigarette   vapor,   even   under   "worst   case"  assumptions   about   exposure.  d) Electronic   cigarette   use   is   easy   to   distinguish   from   actual   smoking.   Although   some  e­cigarettes   resemble   real   cigarettes,   many   do   not.   It   is   easy   to   tell   when   someone   lights   a  cigarette   from   the   smell   of   smoke.   E­cigarette   vapor   is   often   practically   odorless,   and  generally   any   detectable   odor   is   not   unpleasant   and   smells   nothing   like   smoke.   Additionally,  e­cigarette   users   can   decide   whether   to   release   any   vapor   ("discreet   vaping").    W ith   so   little  evidence   of   use,   enforcing   use   bans   on   electronic   cigarettes   would   be   nearly   impossible.  e) The   ability   to   use   electronic   cigarettes   in   public   spaces   will   actually   improve   public   health   by  inspiring   other   smokers   to   switch   and   reduce   their   health   risks   by   an   estimated   99%.  f) Losing   the   ability   to   test   e­liquids   before   purchasing   will   have   a  significant   and   negative  impact   on   your   ability   to   purchase/sell   e­liquids. 

g) Many   smokers   first   try   e­cigarettes   because   they   can   use   them   where   they   cannot   smoke,  however,   they   often   become   "accidental   quitters."   This   is   a  documented   phenomenon  unique   to   e­cigarettes.   It   may   take   a  few   months   or   only   a  few   days,   but   they   inevitably   stop  smoking   conventional   cigarettes.   This   is   why   including   e­cigarettes   in   smoking   bans   could  have   serious   unintended   consequences!  h) By   making   e­cigarette   users   go   outdoors,   the   City   will   also   be   sending   a  strong   message   to  traditional   smokers   that   e­cigarettes   are   no   safer   than   smoking.   This   will   actually   maintain  the   number   of   smokers,   rather   than   help   reduce   smoking.   This   is   a  far   more   realistic   risk   to  public   health   than   any   unfounded   concerns   about   possible   youth   or   non­smoker   use  uptake.   In   fact,   the   most   recent   report   by   the   CDC   showed   that   the   dramatic   increase   in  e­cigarette   use   over   that   past   3  years   has   not   led   to   an   increase   in   youth   smoking.   Youth  smoking   of   traditional   cigarettes   continues   to   decline   to   record   low   levels.  i) The   children   of   smoking   parents   are   far   more   likely   to   become   smokers   than   the   children   of  non­smoking   parents   who   see   smoking   behaviors   in   public.   The   children   of   smoking  parents   who   quit   aren't   any   more   likely   to   smoke   than   those   of   non­smoking   parents.  Prohibiting   vapor   products   in   public   does   little   to   protect   the   children   of   non­smoking  parents   from   becoming   smokers,   but   significantly   increases   the   likelihood   that   many  smoking   parents   won't   switch   to   e­cigarettes.   This   only   serves   to   keep   the   highest­risk  children   at   risk.  j) E­cigarette   use   does   not   promote   the   smoking   of   traditional   cigarettes,   nor   does   it   threaten  the   gains   of   tobacco   control   over   the   past   few   decades.   In   fact,   by   normalizing   e­cigarette  use   over   traditional   smoking,   the   efforts   of   tobacco   control   are   being   supported.   If   anything,  e­cigarette   use   denormalizes   conventional   smoking   by   setting   the   example   of   smokers  choosing   a  far   less   harmful   alternative   to   traditional   smoking.   The   CDC   surveys   clearly  show   that   there   has   been   no   "gateway   effect"   causing   non­smokers   to   start   smoking.   As  e­cigarettes   have   become   more   popular,   all   available   evidence   is   showing   that   more   and  more   smokers   are   quitting   traditional   cigarettes,   including   youth   smokers.  k) Important   Note :  A  typical   and   frequent   lawmaker   response   to   e­cigarette   users   who   object  to   public   use   bans   is   "We   aren't   banning   all   use   or   sales,   just   use   where   smoking   is   also  prohibited."   Don't   give   them   the   opportunity   to   counter   you   in   that   way!   Make   it   very   clear  that   you   understand   that   this   is   not   a  ban   of   e­cigarette   sales   or   a  ban   of   e­cigarette   use  where   smoking   is   allowed.   But,   what   IS   being   proposed   is   still   a  step   backward   in   public  health,   not   a  step   forward.    5)   Direct   them   to   the   CASAA.org   website,   as   well   as   the   CASAA   Research   Library ,  for   more   information.
