Traditional TobaccoStories • Many Indigenous nations have traditional stories of how tobacco was introduced to their communities • Many stories emphasize the sacredness of the plant and its powers to both heal if used properly and to harm if used improperly! • Some researchers say that the original tobacco was discovered about 18,000 years ago
Traditional TobaccoUse • Used by Medicine People for both healing and blessings • Used to smudge • Given as a gift when welcoming guests to the community and as an offering to those requested to pray or share their wisdom
“Tobacco can both give life and take life. It is a very powerful, potent, and magical being whose properties can cause great harm when abused. The flip side….is that tobacco can also provide great healing when not abused.” -Tharon P. Weighill Sr. (Chumash)

Federal Regulations • On May 10, 2016, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) published a final rule to begin regulating e-cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, hookah, and all other tobacco products. The Tobacco Control Legal Consortium and other public health organizations had been pressing the FDA to take this step for nearly seven years, recognizing it as an important foundation for protecting public health from the enormous toll of illness and death caused by tobacco use.
Legislation 2016 • In 2016, FDA finalized a rule extending our regulatory authority to cover all tobacco products, including vaporizers, vape pens, hookah pens, electronic cigarettes (E-Cigarettes), e-pipes, and all other ENDS. FDA now regulates the manufacture, import, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, sale, and distribution of ENDS. This includes components and parts of ENDS* but excludes accessories.
California Regulations • Just passed law that considers e-cigarettes as tobacco products and subject to California Tobacco Regulations • Must be 21 to purchase beginning June 9, 2016 • Regulation in every state and county can be different

Teens who use e-cigarettes are 3 times more likely to try cigarettes in a year Source: Wills, Knight, Sargent, Gibbons, Pagano, and Williams. (2016). Longitudinal Study of Electronic Cigarette Use and onset of cigarette smoking among high school students in Hawaii.
Diacetyl Diacetyl has been linked to popcorn lung (bronchiolitis obliterans) and other respiratory diseases. It was found in 47 of 51 e-cigarette flavorings tested. (Source: Allen et al. 2015. Flavoring Chemical in E-Cigarettes. Harvard School of Public Health)
Vapor Safety Vapor is not just “harmless” water. Vapor contains diacetyl, propylene glycol, nicotine, and heavy metals. Various studies also suggest possible known carcinogens (Scientific American 2014) Short term exposure shows negative impact on lung function. (Grana, Benowitz, Glantz, 2014)
Cessation • E-Cigarettes are not FDA approved cessation devices. • Most studies show dual use of e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettesfor adults and youth. • Smokers that use e-cigarettes 1/3 less likely to quit than smokers that don’t use e-cigarettes. (Grana, Benowitz, Glantz 2014)
7 FDA APPROVED TOBACCO CESSATION MEDICATIONS • First-line prescription and OTC NRT* medications: • Nicotine nasal spray (prescription) • Nicotine inhaler (prescription) • Nicotine patch (OTC) • Nicotine gum (OTC) • Nicotine lozenge (OTC) • Other first-line medications: • Bupropion SR (Wellbutrin SR, Zyban) • Varenicline(Chantix) 1-800-LUNGUSA
