know you have given me UKs stance on electronic cigarettes in the past, but I need any official statements by the FDA, meduthorities etc on electronic cigarettes. I am going to meet with the county attorney in Daviess after the first of the year. Wave had several instances of complaints on electronic cigarettes in Owensboro. Our ordinance does not state that they arerohibited. Based on our information, he may make an amendment to the ordinance to include electronic cigarettes. We need

i Curt,

totally agree with you on the e-cig issue. Bardstown is the first one going through that includes e-cigs. I also agree with y

hat opening the existing policies up to add that would be too risky at this time. Better to work on including it on those mo

orward.

hanks for coming. Always good to see you.

Well, since you asked....

My objective for the meeting was to listen and learn. So, from that perspective, it was good.There's obviously ALOT of talent around that table and I look forward to hearing more from them.The one issue that really caught my attention was the e-cigarette and the clean indoor air activity around the state.

Admittedly, there is much I don't know about all the community indoor air ordinances and should probably re-visitome of them. But, I wonder if those ordinances are broad enough to include e-cigarettes (and I am hoping that is tase). And if they don't, can/should-cigarettes be included in future ordinances. My personal take it that it might be risky to open up all the alreadyassed ordinances to include e-cigarettes because, as you know, every time they are discussed and opened to votesrdinances in their present form are put at risk. Looking forward to learning more about this issue.Otherwise, an obviously well-prepared for meeting and I thank you for including me.

Have worked most of the day, but looking forward to seeing some "outside" time soon.

hanks.

ristian,

When our health dept. went completely tobacco-free we decided to ban all tobacco products rather than just cigarettes.

rst attachment is the signage we have on our grounds. The second attachment is what we put up around our building an

he newspaper paper prior to becoming 100% Tobacco-Free to prepare our customers and staff. The third attachment is o

window clings that we had ordered prior to going completely tobacco-free that includes the city ordinance number.

ooks like a good agenda. We can talk a little on the phone about the subaward and how it might fit in with MAPP. Im gla

ee the idea of packets for the fiscal court candidates on the agenda. Do you know if the paper or any group is conducting

andidate survey or a candidate forum where we could submit a question or two? We can talk briefly about that, too. If

nyone would be willing to assess candidate views we have a more conversational form than what we used before, so Ill

he Madison County Board of Health listened to the proposal for the opening of a Hookah Caf in Richmond. The proposa

was denied. There was some discussion of the language of the regulation. One Board member suggested there needed t

change in the language regarding the definition of RETAIL TOBACCO STORE to make it more clear. No action was take

his.

My hopes are that the BOH considers making some amendments and/or changing the language according to some of the

uggestions from TCLC.

i, Kelly and Ruth,

have reviewed the TCLC review of our request related to the hookah situation in Madison County. Here are the take-awa

messages that I would emphasize:

1. In addition to the hookah health effects fact sheets that we sent, they emphasized the many young hookah users

smoke cigarettes. This fits with the tobacco industrys recent focus on dual use products (in response to the wave o

smoke-free regulations). They have dramatically changed the way they market and promote tobacco since the

explosion of smoke-free laws. The attempt to circumvent Madisons clean air regulation by allowing a hookah lou

is clearly a way to say to young people that they can maintain their addiction to tobacco even in a smoke-free

environment (by the way, they are also doing this in their marketing of the newer spitless snus products).

2. I concur with TCLC that Madison BOH has several options to strengthen its clean air regulation to discourage the

hookah lounge. One relates to amending the definition of smoking (see top of p. 3 for the ANR model ordinance

definition of smoking that includes heating of tobacco products). Second, addressing the retail tobacco store

exemption. Below are your choicesfrom most effective to least effective in protecting public health:

a. The cleanest (and the most defensible from a health standpoint) solution would be to remove the tobacco

store exemption altogether (andrevise the definition of smoking as above), but I understand that this may

problematic in your situation.

i. I like their point that many successful businesses that deal in consumable items, such as hard liqu

do not allow customers to sample products before purchasing them. Could be a great argument to

removing the retail tobacco store exemption altogether (coupled with the health effects and emer

dual use trendsas a BOH you could do that more easily than could an elected body in my opinion

given your mission to protect the public health. And since passing the regulation, the industry has

found loopholes like this one and they are focusing on dual use).

b. Include hookah in the list of definition of public place or place of employment AND make the above change

the definition of smoking AND make the below changes to the retail tobacco store definition and exemptio


35/246


(see Other Options p. 5).

c. Amend the definition of retail tobacco store to not allow the sale of alcohol or food AND to require tobacc

products to make up a certain percentage of total sales AND to require the store be in a freestanding build

AND to require the store to provide documentation quarterly that demonstrates the percentage requirem

in the definition (see p. 4 suggested language re 700.025, 700.022, and 700.425 exemption language). I do

agree with their recommendation to add to the exemption language to not allow individuals under the age

18 to enter the premises. Given the health effects to all ages, I see no reason to even talk about youth (cou

be an equal protections issue and your regulation is already comprehensive in including all ages).

d. Last option, in my opinion, is to do some version of #c, meaning that you could decide only to change the

percentage of sales in the definition of retail tobacco store exemption (like Lexington did; I caution you,

however, since the Lexington fix has not changed the situationthe hookah lounge is still in business and

hear that cigarette smokers primarily go there and that there may not be a lot of hookah smoking going on

Or you could decide only to require the store to be in a freestanding building, for example.

hope it goes well tonight. Feel free to share my thoughts with BOH members, as well as the materials Carol has shared o

he past several days. I am happy to follow up on any of these suggestions via phone or in person if needed. Again, feel fre

all me at 859-421-6948. I will have email access this week but it may be spotty. We will be interested to hear the outcomhe meeting.

We thought you needed info on secondhand smoke (or Exhaled Main Stream Smoke, EMSS, as one author calls it) to argue

gainst a Hookah coming in. Obviously the effects on the userare huge, as noted in the last one-pager we sent. However t

terature is scarce on Hookah SHS info and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Thankfully Maziak has done a recen

tudy to augment the one Kiyoung Lee conducted on our Hookah. I have replaced only the What the Science Says sectio

he one-pager, so this one will look exactly like the one we sent last week except for that section.

ottom line is that when a waterpipe smoker is smoking, the PM2.5 levels in the establishment can rise to 908 and the PM

articles even higher (1052). Kiyoung found PM2.6 levels ranging from 116-199 in our Hookah (with no one smoking regulgarettes). As always, we only have the outdoor air standard (35) as a comparison, but even Kiyoung lowest finding is ove

he outdoor standard and Maziaks highest PM2.5 level was almost 26X the outdoor standard.

We found a review article that presents incomplete and biased info. Chaouachi (2009) claims that the hookah device

generates almost no Side Stream Smoke. When I went to the Maziak article that he cites, it turns out that may only be t

no one is smoking the waterpipe. As Kiyoung Lee points out, there can also be air pollution from the heat source. I wan

ou to be aware of this in case someone cites this study.

bviously there is no need to expose workers to even 3X the outdoor standard.

We just got TCLCs comments and havent read them yet. Were out in a community tonight, but Ellen says that she can

evelop some talking points tomorrow AM

hanks so much for your patience as we chart this new ground.

in the definition (see p. 4 suggested language re 700.025, 700.022, and 700.425 exemption language). I do

agree with their recommendation to add to the exemption language to not allow individuals under the age

18 to enter the premises. Given the health effects to all ages, I see no reason to even talk about youth (cou

be an equal protections issue and your regulation is already comprehensive in including all ages).

d. Last option, in my opinion, is to do some version of #c, meaning that you could decide only to change the

percentage of sales in the definition of retail tobacco store exemption (like Lexington did; I caution you,

however, since the Lexington fix has not changed the situationthe hookah lounge is still in business and

hear that cigarette smokers primarily go there and that there may not be a lot of hookah smoking going on

Or you could decide only to require the store to be in a freestanding building, for example.

hope it goes well tonight. Feel free to share my thoughts with BOH members, as well as the materials Carol has shared o

he past several days. I am happy to follow up on any of these suggestions via phone or in person if needed. Again, feel fre

all me at 859-421-6948. I will have email access this week but it may be spotty. We will be interested to hear the outcom

he meeting.

i Kelly and Ruth,

We thought you needed info on secondhand smoke (or Exhaled Main Stream Smoke, EMSS, as one author calls it) to argue

gainst a Hookah coming in. Obviously the effects on the userare huge, as noted in the last one-pager we sent. However tterature is scarce on Hookah SHS info and there is a lot of misinformation out there. Thankfully Maziak has done a recen

tudy to augment the one Kiyoung Lee conducted on our Hookah. I have replaced only the What the Science Says sectio

he one-pager, so this one will look exactly like the one we sent last week except for that section.

ottom line is that when a waterpipe smoker is smoking, the PM2.5 levels in the establishment can rise to 908 and the PM

articles even higher (1052). Kiyoung found PM2.6 levels ranging from 116-199 in our Hookah (with no one smoking regul

garettes). As always, we only have the outdoor air standard (35) as a comparison, but even Kiyoung lowest finding is ove

he outdoor standard and Maziaks highest PM2.5 level was almost 26X the outdoor standard.

We found a review article that presents incomplete and biased info. Chaouachi (2009) claims that the hookah devicegenerates almost no Side Stream Smoke. When I went to the Maziak article that he cites, it turns out that may only be t

no one is smoking the waterpipe. As Kiyoung Lee points out, there can also be air pollution from the heat source. I wan

ou to be aware of this in case someone cites this study.

bviously there is no need to expose workers to even 3X the outdoor standard.

We just got TCLCs comments and havent read them yet. Were out in a community tonight, but Ellen says that she can

evelop some talking points tomorrow AM
