Planning a Construction CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: WSB Project No. Request: BACKGROUND Honorable Mayor and City Council Mark Casey, City Manager Kelsey Johnson, ACIP, City Planner September 24, 2013 City Council Work Session for September 30, 2013 02170 -000 701 Xenia Avenue South Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel: 763 - 541 -4800 Fax: 763 - 541 -1700 Electronic Delivery Device (E- Cigarette) Code Language Discussion What is an Electronic Delivery Device? Electronic delivery devices (electronic cigarette or e- cigarette) use is on the rise and many communities are struggling to adjust their existing tobacco ordinance to address this new issue. An electronic cigarette, also called an e- cigarette, is a battery operated nicotine vaporizer. E- cigarettes often look like traditional cigarettes but do not produce smoke. The use of the e- cigarettes is referred to as "vaping" rather than "smoking ". E- cigarette users purchase cartridges filled with liquid nicotine and other substances, attached the cartridge onto the e- cigarette battery, and breathe in nicotine vapor produced by a small heating element. The cartridges are sold in many flavors such as cherry, bubblegum, vanilla, and fruit punch. Liquid nicotine found in e- cigarettes is derived from tobacco; however most of the devices do not contain any tobacco. (Information obtained from the Ramsey Tobacco Coalition 612512013 publication). What Does the City of St. Anthony City Code Say About Electronic Delivery Devices? Section § 111.046 of the City of St. Anthony Village City Code defines "TOBACCO OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS" as "any substance or item containing tobacco leaf, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco; hookah tobacco; snuff, fine cut or other chewing granulated, plug cut, crimp cut; snus; bidis, or any other preparation of tobacco; cheroots; stogies; perique; formulation of matter containing biologically active amounts of nicotine that is manufactured, sold, offered for sale, or otherwise distributed with the expectation that the product or matter will be introduced into the human body, but does not include any cessation product approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use as a medical treatment to reduce and eliminate nicotine or tobacco dependence ". "TOBACCO RELATED DEVICES" is defined as "any tobacco product as well as a pipe, rolling papers, or device intentionally designed or intended to be used in a manner which enables the chewing, sniffing, or smoking of tobacco or tobacco products. Furthermore, § 111.057 of the City Code related to "SMOKING PROHIBITED" STATES THAT "It shall be unlawful for the lighting, inhaling, exhaling or combination thereof of tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco related devices by any person in any retail establishment and for any person that owns, leases, manages, operates or otherwise controls the retail establishment to allow such to occur". The existing code does not currently define "SMOKING ". Page 1 September 24, 2013 Page 2 DISCUSSION Currently the City's definition of "TOBACCO OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS" includes the word "nicotine" (see below). "TOBACCO OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS" as "any substance or item containing tobacco leaf, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco; hookah tobacco; snuff; fine cut or other chewing granulated, plug cut, crimp cut; snus; bidis, or any other preparation of tobacco; cheroots; stogies; perique; formulation of matter containing biologically active amounts of nicotine that is manufactured, sold, offered for sale, or otherwise distributed with the expectation that the product or matter will be introduced into the human body, but does not include any cessation product approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use as a medical treatment to reduce and eliminate nicotine or tobacco dependence ". The City Code prohibits the "lighting, inhaling, exhaling or combination thereof of tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco related devices by any person in any retail establishment ...... (see below). §111.057 "SMOKING PROHIBITED" STATES THAT "It shall be unlawful for the lighting, inhaling, exhaling or combination thereof of tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco related devices by any person in any retail establishment and for any person that owns, leases, manages, operates or otherwise controls the retail establishment to allow such to occur ". Interpretation #1: One way to interpret the City's Code would be to infer that 1) since the City prohibits the "lighting, inhaling, exhaling or combination of tobacco, etc. "; and 2) the definition of "TOBACCO or TOBACCO PRODUCTS" includes the word "nicotine" and "introducing into the human body"; and 3) electronic delivery devices are filled with liquid nicotine; that the City prohibits the "lighting, inhaling, exhaling or combination of electronic delivery devices (e- cigarettes). Interpretation #2: Another way to interpret the City's Code would be to infer that the City only prohibits "smoking" and that it may not clearly prohibit "vaping" and therefore may not prohibit vaping lounges, which are places where customers sample and use electronic delivery devices (e- cigarettes). LANGUAGE TO CONSIDER Definitions to Potentially Include in the City Code "ELECTRONIC DELIVERY DEVICE" shall mean any product containing or delivering nicotine, lobelia, or any other substance intended for human consumption that can be used by a person to simulate smoking in the delivery of nicotine or any other substance through inhalation of vapor from the product. Electronic delivery device shall include any component part of such a product whether or not sold separately. Electronic delivery device shall not include any product that has been approved or otherwise certified by the United States Food and Drug Administration for legal sales for use in tobacco cessation treatment or other medical purposes, and is being marketed and sold solely for the approved purpose. "SMOKING" shall mean inhaling or exhaling smoke from any lighted or heated cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated tobacco or plant product, or inhaling or exhaling vapor from any electronic delivery device. Smoking shall include carrying a lighted or heated cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated tobacco or plant product intended for inhalation. City staff would also need to go through § 111.045 — § 111.057 and update pertinent provisions accordingly if the City Council elects to make changes to the City Code to incorporate the electronic delivery device language as discussed in this memo. Page 2 September 24, 2013 Page 3 NEXT STEPS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER 1. Leave the City Code language as -is with the interpretation as outlined above in the "Discussions" section of this memo as "Interpretation #I". 2. Direct staff to prepare amended language to the City Code to clearly include provisions for "Electronic Delivery Devices" based on Interpretation #2 as outlined in the "Discussions" section above. Page 3 One example of a rechargeable e- cigarette model "blu" is a brand of electroniccigarettes manufactured by Lorillard, the company that makes Newport ciga- rettes. It is purposefully designed to look difference than a cigarette for use by consumers in places with smoke -free policies. This disposable electronic cigarette produced by N10Y costs about $7. NJOY is the number one selling brand of electronic cigarettes. WHAT IS AN ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE? Electronic cigarettes, also called e- cigarettes, are battery operated nicotine vaporizers that are produced primarily in China.' E- cigarettes often look like a traditional cigarette but do not produce smoke. The use of e- cigarettes is referred to as "vaping" rather than "smoking." E- cigarette users purchase cartridges filled with liquid nicotine and other substances, attach the cartridge onto the e- cigarette battery, and breathe in nicotine vapor produced by a small heating element. The cartridges are sold in many flavors such as cherry, bubblegum, vanilla, and fruit punch, making them appealing to youth.2 Disposable e- cigarettes sell for about $5 and rechargeable e- cigarettes cost up to $120. E- cigarettes are often advertised as a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes; however, the potential health risks associated with these products is not known. Liquid nicotine found in e- cigarettes is derived from tobacco; however, most of the devices do not contain any tobacco. Similar to tobacco cigarettes, heavy metals, carcinogens, silicate, and nanoparticles (which can go deep into the lungs) have been found in e- cigarette vapor.3 ARE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES REGULATED? The production and manufacturing of e- cigarettes is poorly regulated.45 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has noted that "quality control processes used to manufacture these products are inconsistent or nonexistent." For example, three different e- cigarette cartridges with the same label were tested and each cartridge released a substantially different amount of nicotine with each puff 6 WHATARETHE HEALTH EFFECTS OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE USE? Because these products are so new, little is known about their long term health effects. There is a significant amount of research showing the harmful effects of nicotine: a highly addictive stimulant that increases blood pressure and heart rate.3 E- cigarettes are designed to deliver high amounts of nicotine to the user. Often, e- cigarettes deliver more than two times the amount of nicotine approved by the FDA for smoking cessation aids.' Many of the ingredients found in e- cigarettes are known to be dangerous to human health. These ingredients can cause: lung and cardiac inflammation, cancer, and cell damage.

As a result of widespread availability, sales of e- cigarettes are increasing rapidly. Some predict that electronic cigarette sales could overtake traditional cigarette sales in the next decade. Electronic cigarettes are popular among people who are looking for an alternative to traditional cigarettes. These people are often looking for a "safer" alternative and the ability to smoke in places where cigarette smoking is prohibited. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP PREVENTYOUTH ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE USE? It is critical that local municipalities regulate e- cigarettes. All e- cigarette vendors should be licensed and subject to the same provisions as traditional tobacco retailers to ensure youth do not have access to these products. Minnesota state law currently regulates the sale of e- cigarettes by prohibiting sale to minors. Local ordinances should be updated at the county and city level to ensure that e- cigarettes are not sold to those under 18 years of age. Sources: 1. Dooley, E. (2009).
