3 Outline Impact of smoking bans Health Business Third Hand Smoke passive vaping

4 Environmental Tobacco Smoke Background 1964 U.S. Surgeon General Report Smoking and Health 1986 U.S. Surgeon General Report The Health Consequences of Involuntary Smoking 1993 U.S. EPA Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other Disorders OSHA began rule making process which was blocked by the tobacco industry. There is no OSHA standard for secondhand smoke California EPA Health Effects of Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke 2006 U.S. Surgeon General Carmona- The debate is over. Secondhand smoke causes disease and kills people.

BMJ 282:183, 1981 CP

10 Secondhand Smoke Inhalation Study in Rats 21 day exposure to mainstream or sidestream smoke Rats resisted daily loading into exposure tubes Sidestream smoke exposure more toxic More rats in sidestream died spontaneously Squamous cell metaplasia in ciliated epithelia Wolf Reininghaus PM

11 1992 U.S. EPA Report ETS is a Group A carcinogen (arsenic, asbestos, benzene, radon, vinyl chloride) 3,000 lung cancer deaths/year in nonsmokers 8,000 to 26,000 new asthma cases in children 150,000 to 300,000 cases of bronchitis and pneumonia in toddlers Smoke-free work place reduces ETS exposure

12 probably the single most important challenge we currently face. This will have a very direct and major impact on consumption -- an impact which will be as bad as, or worse than, excise tax increases.

33 Effect of Smoke-Free Workplaces Systematic review of 23 studies Prevalence of smoking by 3.8% smoking in continuing smokers by 3.1 CPD If all workplaces were smoke-free, per capita consumption of cigarettes would by 4.5% in USA and 7.6% in UK $1.7 billion and 310 million loss to tobacco industry Fichtenberg CM & Glantz SA. BMJ 325:188, 2002

35 Lexington, Kentucky July 1, 2003 Urban County Council by vote 11-3 made most public places (bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, and pool halls) smoke-free as of Sept In that single instance, the Council may have improved the health of Lexington more than any action the Board of Health could have done. Health Commissioner, John Poundstone, M.D. Smoking prevalence in Fayette County- 27.6% in % in 2005

Average level in micgms/cubic meter in smoking areas; 43.7 in adjacent areas vs. 8.0 in smoke free airports ref: MMWR Nov. 20,2012

40 The Debate is Over The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona June 27, 2006

41 U.S. Surgeon General Report Key Findings Detectable cotinine concentrations in 88% of non-smokers (1988) 43% (2002) Secondhand smoke causes disease and premature death in children and adults risk of SIDS, acute respiratory infections, ear infections and more severe asthma in exposed children

42 U.S. Surgeon General Report Key Findings (cont.) Immediate adverse effects on C.V. system in exposed adults and causes heart disease and lung cancer No risk-free level of exposure Eliminating smoking indoors protects non-smokers but ventilation and/or separation do not.

43 2006 U.S. Surgeon General Report Cigarette Company Response Philip Morris- We are studying the report. R.J. Reynolds-..does not change our views about secondhand smoke. There are still legitimate scientific questions concerning the reported risks of secondhand smoke. People who don t want to work around it don t have to work at that establishment.

44 Third-hand smoke (THS) THS is the residual tobacco smoke that remains after a cigarette is extinguished. It can react with indoor nitrous acid to produce a carcinogen. It may collect on clothing, furniture or rugs. Need for more scientific understanding of the potential dangers of THS

45 Residential THS exposure --THS accumulate in smoker s homes and persists when smokers move out even after homes remain vacant for 2 months are cleaned and prepared for new residents. --Non smokers living in former smoker homes are exposed to THS in dust and on surfaces. Ref. (Matt Ge et al; Tob Control, 2011 Jan;20(1)

46 Passive Vaping E-cigarette use is booming Is there danger from passive vaping? Unsure No --McAuley et al (Inhal Toxicol, 2012 Oct:24(12):850-7 Maybe-- Schripp et al (Indoor Air, 2013 Feb;23(1); 25-31)
