Public Health <br />Lav Center <br />ni N9LLiant Mrza"ti. Can¢¢ oe Lbw <br />In:/iroving health througb the power of /,7-,v <br />ELECTRONIC DELIVERY DEVICE SAMPLE LANGUAGE FOR LOCAL <br />GOVERNMENT REGULATION <br />The Public Health Law Center has developed the following sample language regarding <br />regulation of electronic delivery devices in Minnesota under local tobacco retailer license <br />ordinances and local smoke-free workplace ordinances. The Public Health Law Center/League <br />of Minnesota Cities (PHLC/LMC) Model Tobacco Licensing Ordinance was used as the starting <br />point/template for drafting purposes, such that the new sample language would amend the model <br />ordinance. <br />Please note that the Public Health Law Center provides information and legal technical <br />assistance on issues related to public health, but does not provide legal advice, and does not <br />enter into attorney-client relationships. <br />Sample language for a tobacco retailer license ordinance: <br />Definition section: <br />Electronic Delivery Devices: The sample language would delete the model ordinance definition <br />of "nicotine or lobelia delivery device" and add a broader definition of an "electronic delivery <br />device" to include all such products no matter what their form (electronic cigarettes, cigars, <br />pipes), as well as component parts (heating elements/cartridges), which can used independently <br />by a person to inhale vapors. The definition would continue to exclude any product that is FDA - <br />approved for cessation treatment or other medical purposes. <br />Subd XX Electronic Delivery Device. "Electronic Delivery Device" shall mean any product <br />containing or delivering nicotine,.lobelia or any other substance intended for human <br />consumption that can be used by a person to simulate smoking in the delivery of nicotine or any <br />other substance through inhalation of vapor from the product Electronic delivery device shall <br />include any component part of such a product whether or not sold separately. Electronic delivery <br />device shall not include any product that has been approved or otherwise certified by the united <br />States Food and Drug Administration for legal sales for use in tobacco cessation treatment or <br />other medical purposes, and is being marketed and sold solely for that approved purpose. <br />Smoking: The sample language would modify the model ordinance definition of "smoking" to <br />specifically include inhaling and exhaling vapor from an electronic delivery device. <br />Subd. XX Smoking. "Smoking" shall mean inhaling or exhaling smoke from any lighted or <br />heated cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated tobacco or plant product, or inhaling <br />or exhaling vapor from any electronic delivery device. Smoking shall include carrying a lighted <br />or heated cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated tobacco or plant product intended <br />for inhalation. <br />Pi jj.JjL, I1 97" 4i i i i Sant P'ml, 55105 IIStI <br />1eh0311 fl.",06 R.v va 1.:.40. r.;U .et._."Llizho_h hh ri.cmg <br />
