October 2015 Public Comments
Date MAIL RESPONSES Please share comments on the draft ordinance that you would like staff and the Board of Health to consider. 10/16/15 I’m a father of 2 daughters, one of which has smoked since she was about 16. No one else in our home smokes and we don’t allow her to smoke in the house. She has tried several times to quit over the last 8 years without success. Last year she started vaping and has been able to reduce the nicotine in the “juice” down to the very lowest level. She has been doing well with this and we’re all very proud of her. We understand that not vaping would be the best option, but after reading many studies, know that vaping is A LOT less harmful to her and less intrusive on others. We agree that policies need to be in place like the smoking policies for the community. EXCEPT, we don’t agree with the policy that doesn’t allow vape stores to have a sitting area. This was a huge part of how our daughter successfully switched. She connected with other people that encouraged her, gave her strategies to stop smoking cigarettes and applauded her success. We don’t support “vaping lounges” that are independent of vape stores, we just want to continue to allow customers in the stores to socialize while vaping. We also disagree with the possible policy making stores invest in new venting systems that studies have shown are not needed. Most stores small business owners that are renting the building space and can’t afford a new venting system for a building they don’t own. Thank you for your time. Please provide your contact information (optional). Name Steve G Marysville WA 98270 Date EMAIL RESPONSES (Other than "Links Only") Please provide your contact information (optional). Name Address M Daly Tacoma, WA Please share comments on the draft ordinance that you would like staff and the Board of Health to consider. 10/11/15 I am writing in support of the proposed vaping ban by the Snohomish Health District. This issue hits home as the restaurants I used to enjoy now are beginning to be filled with people vaping. Often they vape with young children nearby. Since it is legal, there is no recourse for complaints, and no matter where you sit, the vapors are still around. I am surprised there is no legal recourse. Smoking cigarettes was once considered harmless. Non-smokers were forced to endure second hand smoke in so-called non-smoking sections of restaurants, which I foresee will be the solution if vaping in public places continues to be legal. This option will be as ineffective as past non-smoking sections. I choose not to smoke and feel quite strongly that in no way should I, or the millions of other people like me, be forced to smell, inhale, and be exposed to vaping. How is it that in an era that so stringently fights cigarette smoking is being so lenient with vaping? I realize it is trendy to vape and it is being touted as a healthy alternative to cigarette smoking, and even that vaping is a great way to lose weight. All of which sounds familiar to cigarette smoking. And who am I hearing this argument from? The middle school students that I work with. Many of their parents and friends have passed this information on to them. This is my second reason for opposing vaping in public places. Allowing this behavior is a giant step backwards in the education of our youth. This age group equates vaping with using a hookah. Hookah vapor has been shown to contain chemicals including lead. But this is what young students believe; any kind of vaping is healthier than cigarette smoking. Please help those of us who do not wish to be exposed to vaping, and still want to enjoy sitting on the patio or sitting inside their favorite restaurant smoke free. Please help the youth, who still need to be educated to make heathy choices. We have rights as well. The right to be healthy and smoke free. 1 10/11/15 I smoked cigarettes for 45 years and used to cough all the time. Everything smelled ghastly from the smoke. I was terribly addicted and tried the patch and the gum to no avail. I took one puff of an electronic cigarette and immediately knew it would work for me. I have been "vaping" for a couple of years and do not cough anymore. There is no brown stain on my white walls and there is no smell at all. Plus I am not spending anywhere near what cigarettes cost. I very much believe that young people have a chance to never start smoking anything and should be coached incessantly not to start and become addicted. But for someone such as myself the electronic form of smoking is a vast improvement. I was informed that, since there is nothing actually burning, there is no tar entering my body - only nicotine. It is the tar that causes lung cancer -not the nicotine. Ever since my first puff of the electronic cigarette I stopped smoking cigarettes...after 45 years of daily smoking. You folks ought to be doing some kind of scientific studies to determine what is really going on with these new devices. I realize that they have not been around long enough to determine anything conclusively but to write them off as being as dangerous as cigarettes without scientific proof is doing me and those such as myself a gross disservice. We should be congratulated for having gotten free of tar and coughing and smell and even no tar in the second hand smoke. I was told that there isn't even any nicotine in the second hand vapors..that it goes entirely into the person vaping. Ellen Enns 10/14/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #1 On a personal note, I was a cigarette smoker for over 35 years. I have tried everything possible to quit smoking, gum, patches, hypnosis, pills, etc. and nothing worked for me, until I found vaping. I have been smoke free since January 8, 2015. M Daly Tacoma WA 10/14/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #1 Hello my name is Jamie Tripp, I live at 7007 S Montgomery St Tacaom WA which is in district 29. I hope that the information in this email is helpful on making rules and legislation that are fair and based in facts. PinkLungBrigade Link #1 Please check these un bias articles, vaping saved my mother’s life. She chain smoked multiple packs of cigarettes for 45 years, has been diagnosed with COPD Emphysema, and was unable to quit smoking until she purchased a e-cigarette. She had previously given the gas station e-cigarettes a try but hated the flavor, by going into a local vape shop she was able to try multiple flavors before she purchased one, letting her find a flavor that actually worked for her. The e-cigarette allowed her to slowly taper off lower and lower nicotine strengths over the course of 6 months. She has now been 100% cigarette and vapor product free for 2 years. She no longer needs to use the chair lift to get upstairs to her bedroom, and she needs her oxygen only a fraction of the time from before she quit smoking cigarettes. Vaping gave me many more happy years with my mother. Please don’t kill this amazing industry! Jamie Tripp Tacoma WA Robert Branting Jr Everett WA 10/14/15 10/14/15 My view of public vaping is: “no one wants to walk through a cloud of unknown substance anywhere in public.”Thank you 2 business owner in Lynnwood, WA Tim Crook Lake Stevens 10/14/15 Hello my name is Jt. I am 27 years old and I used to smoke a pack to a pack and a half a day. I'm a very active person so I made the decision to switch to vaping about a year ago. I have done a lot of research for myself to become educated on these life saving devices. Putting these bans in place will damage local businesses. I prefer going to my favorite Vape shop on Sundays to watch football which gets the community together and lets us network. Here are some facts that you might not have known about the topic. http://listverse.com/2014/11/12/10-facts-that-everyone-gets-wrongabout-vaping/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11810284/Britishsmokers-urged-to-start-vaping-by-health-officials.html http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/aug/19/public-healthengland-e-cigarettes-safer-than-smoking JT 10/14/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #1 These devices have the potential to save a billion lives this century if they are embraced. 1 in 2 smokers will die of smoking related issues. E-cigs have been proven to be 95-99% less harmful than traditional cigarettes by Public Health England. The choice is absolutely clear. Ecigs should be readily available to every smoker, and be incentivized rather than demonized. To do otherwise is a disservice to the community health, including children. How many smokers have switched to vaping and now don't subject their other household members to dangerous second- and third-hand smoke? I'm in that category. Ecigs are saving my child. John Conner Olympia, WA 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #2 Hello, I do not wish to take up too much of your time, but I would like you to hear me out. Electronic cigarettes have changed my life and I have watched it change others as well. I was a two pack a day smoker, wasting all my money and feeling horrible every day for eight years. Three years ago I was introduced to electronic cigarettes at first I really did not like the idea, I thought for sure it would not work. If you told me three years ago that I would have quit smoking cigarettes as of this date I would laugh at you and call you crazy! It's true though, these things really work! I feel great, I can breathe, I am not coughing up a bunch of phlegm, I can run, my voice has greatly improved-which is fantastic because I am a singer, my sense of smell/taste has completely changed (for the better), I don't reek of cigarettes, and most importantly I am not harming the loved ones that surround me. Eight years is not a very long time to be addicted to cigarettes, I know that is probably what you are thinking, so if that does not convince you then take in to account my father, aunt, uncle, brother, sister in law, several of my close friends, and the customers I serve every day at the vape shop that I currently work at. Every day I see the good that these products do for the community. I see the elderly who have smoked for forty plus years successfully quit, I see their doctors being blown away by their health improvements, I see people proud and happy. Please take the time to educate yourself on these products before you make any decisions. You do care about the people, right? Thank you for your time, Please do not let the people down. Mallori Gold Tacoma 3 10/15/15 The outline of Vaping rules in public places is basically good, but needs to consider Vape venders that are located in the open area of malls where sampling is carried out. As a shopping center general manager I field numerous complaints during the year of careless testers blowing the vapor in the path of shoppers. Glen Bachman, CSM,CPM,RPA General Manager Everett Mall Thanks you for your time. 10/15/15 At this point I'm beyond disgusted with the leadership at the local, state and federal level that has been demonstrated in regards to Vapor products. You as leaders have a responsibility to work towards the health and welfare of the citizens you represent. Instead you look only to tax dollars and restrictions in products that are PROVEN over and over again to be SIGNIFICANTLY less harmful than cigarettes. This isn't a question of "Should a non-smoker/non-vapor begin to use vapor products?" Its a matter of getting smokers to start using Vapor products INSTEAD of smoking. Every day more and more studies continue to reveal the now proven FACT that using vapor products is DRAMATICALLY safer than smoking. To be perfectly blunt, we (former smokers and current vapors) are uniformly disturbed by your complete and utter lack of concern for the health and well being of the people you allegedly represent. You willingly, and knowingly choose to push people who are addicted to nicotine to use tobacco products. An act which will kill them. This is an action that goes far beyond simple negligence, this is mass murder and genocide. Intentionally ignoring actions that can and will improve the health of tobacco consumers who reside in Washington State. If you continue to try and stop, prevent, or impair current smokers from transitioning to using vapor products you are consigning 10,401 people in Washington State to death per year. From an ethical stand point if you are comfortable with the blood of 10,401 Washington State Citizens per year being on your hands than you have no business holding an office or representing any portion of the population.From a legal stand point, killing 10,401 people per year is Genocide also known as a Crime Against Humanity, which puts you in the same political house as Hitler. Courtesy of the United Nations: Legal definition of genocide Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." Source: http://www.un.org/en/preventgenocide/adviser/pdf/osapg_analysis_fra mework.pdf Quite simply, stop killing us (literally), or be prepared for the people you allegedly represent to press charges against you for the attempted murder of 10,401 people. A disgusted and fed up Voter 4 Dave Buckley Yelm, WA 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #2 I smoked cigarettes for 15 years. Every morning I would wake up coughing, hacking up the most disgusting matter. Within weeks of starting vaping the coughing and mucus went away. With the information below I know vaping is a much safer alternative to nicotine. Not only is it an alternative, but is is also a great tool for cessation. Samuel Swarner 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #2 During my time in the Washington Army National Guard I was stationed in the Lakewood area for 5 years and the Kent area for two years. I have many friends that I still visit in those areas. I also have a brother, sister and mother who live in Tacoma. I beg of you to reconsider banning the use of e cigarettes in vapor shops. By the way, my mother was recently diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer caused by smoking. Ive lost my father to smoking, my wife lost both of her parents to smoking and Im going to lose my mother because of smoking. Think of it like this. Smoking is the worst disease in the history of mankind and e-cigarettes and the support people get from local vapor shops are the cure. Why would you want to keep the cure from dying people? Its too late for my mom. Gary Fletcher Kennewick, WA 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #2 I have been vaping for two years after quitting a pack a day. the community of vapers is such a nice community all focused for the better of our health. I would really appreciate it if you followed the link I have provided. thank you and have a great day. Nathan burns Snohomish WA 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #2 I'm 19 years old, almost 20. I started smoking cigarettes at age 11. By the time I turned 16 I was smoking nearly two packs of cigarettes per day. I would wake up every morning and hack / cough up pieces of my lungs. It's disgusting. When I turned 18 a good friend of mine introduced me to e cigarettes. I haven't touched one of those cancer sticks since that day and my lungs have never felt better! Honestly if I never started vaping, I would be on the road to lung cancer and bankruptcy! Vaping truly does save lives and personally, I will fight my hardest to save the lives of every single person that wants to kick their tobacco addiction. I will NEVER give up. I highly encourage you to read the link https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-lessharmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review (PinkLungBrigade Link #2) Holly Skurk Fox Bremerton Wa 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #2 Why should we keep trying to put down something that will help people? Is there not enough tax money in saving lives? 5 Richland, WA John Seery 10/15/15 10/15/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #1 I wanted to email you today saying I oppose the ban of sample testing and vaping inside of vape shops. This is a crucial part of getting people off smoking and being able to keep people of it. There are flavors out there not everyone's pallet agrees with and without being able to first sample them you would be wasting money on juice that you don't like which would render this whole thing useless of what we are doing here. Countless studies have shown this is a healthier alternative and harm reduction program to combustible tobacco. John Ensell PinkLungBrigade Link #2 My vaping story: I smoked cigarettes since I was 14 years old. By the time I was 18 years old I never thought I would ever be able to quit smoking. I knew I needed to stop but there weren't many options that I hadn't already tried through high school and miserably failed. That same year that I was 18, about the last week of August, my boss who also smoked came into work with a ecig and at first I laughed at him. I told him that it would never work. Well after a week he hadn't smoked a single cigarette so I asked him where he got it and went and got one for myself. I thought to myself it was worth a shot even if it didn't work. I can tell you I've never been so glad that I was wrong.I have not smoked a single cigarette since that day 5 years ago. At the time I had severe asthma and had to use an inhaler daily. I wasn't able to do much physical exercise without losing my breath easily. I haven't used my inhaler in about 4 years. I've saved myself thousands of dollars and my health has improved beyond belief. Another unexpected result of my successful use of electronic cigarettes is that many of my friends and family members followed and had the same success and very similar results as far as their health goes. Without electronic cigarettes I never would have been able to quit smoking and I expect that my health only would have gotten worse. Today 10/16/2015 I no longer use nicotine with my electronic cigarettes, I only use it a few times a week, and like I said before I have not had a cigarette in over 5 years! To make a long story short that's sums up my journey. I fear taxation beyond the standard sales tax will keep others from the attempt or opportunity to quit smoking via electronic cigarettes, as I was able to. I do not and will not support any further taxation or ban of electronic cigarettes, electronic cigarette liquid, and associated accessories. I hope you all do not support any bills related to taxation or bills that lead to a ban of the use and or purchase of ecigs. If you do, I will not vote for you or your counterparts in coming elections. If you do, it will leave many with no choice but to go back to smoking tobacco. If you do, it will leave many with out jobs or loss of their business. If you do, it will take away a safe and very promising opportunity to stop smoking cigarettes forever as I did. So, I hope you don't. To me electronic cigarettes are one of the biggest medical breakthroughs in the last 100 years! Don't take that away from the public or make it harder for the public to access it. With best regards, Raj A Rohila Raj Arun Rohila 6 Lakewood, wa Makin Some Vapes Owner Olympia, WA 10/16/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #1 I wanted to email you today saying I OPPOSE the ban of sample testing and vaping inside of vape shops!!! This is a crucial part of getting people off smoking and being able to keep people of it. There are flavors out there not everyone's pallet agrees with and without being able to first sample them you would be wasting money on juice that you don't like which would render this whole thing useless of what we are doing here. Countless studies have shown this is a healthier alternative and harm reduction program to combustible tobacco. It would end result in me having to let employees go, and eventually close my doors. 10/16/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #3 Vaping saved my life. I have not had a cigarette in almost 3 years. All thanks to vaping! 10/16/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #3 VAPE SHOPS!!! 10/16/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #3 Please take notice that we are trying to show the facts about how we quit smoking. I personally smoked for 20 years, I tried everything I could to quit and always failed. 3 days after I started vaping I quit smoking. I haven't had one cigarette since then. I feel amazingly better. Thank you for your time and consideration. 10/16/15 I personally am and avid vaper and ex smoker and without vaping I would struggle to quit smoking all together. I work at a vape shop and it has become a hobby, community, family, and income for me. I need this to stay alive to continue to do what I'm doing. This is me respectfully asking to keep things the way that they are, there is no need for change. Thank you 10/16/15 Hi my name is Jamie and I was wondering why on your website under health materials isn't the study done by the Health dept of the UK on there? I know the board was given copies and its a very in-depth study proving that e-cigs are less harmful than smoking, it also shows that people who vape are able to successfully quit smoking altogether. Is there a reason that your board has chosen to only post anti vape articles? Thank you for your time. I OPPOSE all vaping and sampling bans in 7 John Ensell Lakewood, wa Makin Some Vapes Owner Brandon Nevares Ocean Shores WA, John Ensell Lakewood, wa Makin Some Vapes Owner Lepy Gina Anderson Jamie 10/16/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #3 Good afternoon legislators, sometimes we hear politicians talking about the dangers of nicotine and sometimes even news articles talk about "dangerous" nicotine. Unfortunately, nicotine is the main addictive ingredient in traditional cigarettes which we all know are extremely bad for you. As a result, nicotine has gained an unfair reputation for being overly harmful and I have even heard some people say it causes disease. Joshua Baba This is simply not true. The harm from traditional cigarettes comes from the combustible tobacco and tar. Oh and the 4000+ chemicals that are added to them. Nicotine itself is very similar to caffeine regarding it's effects on the human body and yet one cannot miss several coffee shops walking down the street essentially anywhere in the state. Labeling electronic cigarettes "drug delivery devices" is an attempt to mis-characterize the harmfulness. It is akin to calling coffee mugs, styrofoam cups, and tumblers "drug delivery devices which is not in our common vernacular because we accept adults making personal choices on what to put in their body. 10/16/15 10/19/15 Our thoughts on subject proposed Ordinance are as follows: 1. Vapor product users exhale far greater amounts of "toxic" clouds of exhalant than users of normal cigarettes. 2. There are stringent rules on cigarette smokers (and rightly so) as far as where they can smoke because second-hand cigarette smoke has been proven to be harmful (and unpleasant) to passers-by. 3. Those strict rules should be applied to Vapor product users for the very same reasons. As far as we know there haven't been any definitive tests done concerning the toxicity of Vaping. However, we firmly believe that once tests are done they will prove that Vaping is equally harmful to users and passers-by who are forced to inhale the clouds of exhalant of Vapor. 4. Also, Vaping is a huge temptation to adolescents because they believe it is harmless, so any ordinance should highlight the dangers of Vaping. Thank you for your efforts to develop an ordinance concerning Vaping. PinkLungBrigade Link #4 On a personal note...a little bit about my journey towards quitting smoking: I have not smoked a cigarette since July 13, 2015. I had tried everything previous to vaping to quit. I was then introduced to vaping and it was the easiest transition I have ever experienced. I have slowly stepped down my nicotine levels over the past few months with vaping and am at a 1.5 nic strength today. By Christmas, I can confidently say that I will no longer be vaping any nicotine. Vaping as a smoking cessation has improved my quality of life and my over all health. My "smokers cough" is gone and I have so much more energy. Please support vape! It's a life saver, literally! 8 Donald E. Mohs Evie Jenner Rachel Cupples Auburn, WA 10/19/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #4 Please read the following article and use it when making your final decision on the e-cigarette vaping ban. My name is Rose Andersen I'm a registered voter in the twenty ninth District. I would like you to consider all the people that will be negatively affected and unable to continue using a product that has helped them escape from combustible tobacco cigarettes when casting your vote. I will do the same when I cast my vote. I really appreciate your time and consideration in reading the article as well as my email I hope you find it informative. Rose Andersen Tacoma Washington. 10/20/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #5 Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate you for doing so. I emailed you yesterday and mentioned how vaping helped me quit smoking. Another part of the story is that I also beat cancer this year. I struggled quitting smoking even after having the diagnosis of cancer. That might sound crazy to someone who has never been addicted to cigarettes but if you have been or are...you know the struggle and mental torture it brings. I am now cigarette free and cancer free. Please help me save vape! Raising taxes on vape products will only hurt people who were like me and wanted to quit smoking to save their own lives but struggled with it due to addiction. Please help me fight to keep vaping an affordable way for smokers to quit cigarettes! Please! Do the right thing and help our communities kick the habit of cigarettes. Rachel Cupples Auburn, WA 10/20/15 PinkLungBrigade Link #5 Thank you for taking a moment to review the information below as it pertains to regulations that already exist in the e-cigarette (vaping) market. I hope you will find this information helpful as a number of the things we all care about are already covered. As someone who has benefitted great deal from moving away from tobacco cigarettes this issue is very important to me and many others living in WA who, like me, have made a choice to move away from tobacco cigarettes. At the same time, I too am concerned about making sure that e-cigarettes are not sold to or used by minors and that reasonable regulations keep them in the hands of adults. There is a link at the bottom of the list that will provide further information. Andrew Bales 10/23/15 Hi there, M. Mckissick I saw this story on a Facebook page and thought, why not, I'd write in. First, let me just say that I was a heavy smoker for about 15 or so years, and now I haven't touched a cigarette in almost a year. I am a vaper, and proud of it. I'm going to try and make this short so excuse the writing technique. I, as a vapor am tired of seeing all these so called Dr.s and people in the medical field talking down on vaping. I have not felt as good as I do now, since before I smoked back in high school. Morning cough/smokers cough is gone, like all the way gone. My clothes don't smell, my car doesn't smell, and neither does my house anymore. These people are saying negative things about vaping when they have no proof that vaping is harmful to your health. They have no proof, because there is no proof to report on, because it isn't bad. I live in Houston Texas and they are starting to do the same thing here with vaping, and there is no reasoning behind it. If anything, when I vape, people near me ask what is that smell, because it smells like candy. Also, European health officials have tested vaping, and it has come back clean. Maybe the US should try it, but then again, there ain't no money in people being healthy, is there. Just my 2 cents from a vape enthusiast. 9 Shelton WA 10/23/15 I am a 62 year old woman and had been a moderate smoker for 30 years. A year and half ago I had a cough that wouldn't go away so my daughter gave me an electronic cigarette to try. It consisted of a small battery and tank that could be filled with favored oils that contained 6mg or more of nicotine...all I had to do was press the button it heated the oil and I could take a puff of steam...unlike cigarette smoke, the steam left no lingering odor, the steam actually dissipated quite fast.. so by using this steam device I kicked the smoking habit.. When I was a smoker I would light a cigarette and puff on it until it almost reached the filter then put it out. I found myself repeating this two or three times per hour. With the steam device it's a lot different, I take three puffs set it down maybe pick it up an hour later etc.. since using the E cig I can breath better have not had a cough and my energy levels have increased.. So I guess the point I would like to make is that anything that helps people quit the smoking habit shouldn't suddenly have to come under rules, regulations, and exaggerated complaints, that may or may not exist... Has there been a large enough number of complaints to justify banning steam smoking in public at this time? I personally have seen very few people even using the steam cigarettes, so I have a difficult time understanding why this is even being discussed. If there is a problem or if one should arise, the businesses could just handle it themselves by posting No Vapeing signs or having designated section for E cig users.. this seems more sensible instead of turning steam puffing into another something punishable by the law.. I just feel this issue is ridiculous because the only concern I have heard, as a public health issue is exposure to nicotine from the second steam.. But what if a person is just puffing on steamed flavors like hazelnut, cappuccino, menthol, or butterscotch etc... until there is substantial honest and scientific evidence that there is indeed harm to the public from second hand electronic cigarette steam, so until there is something to really be concerned about leave us alone.
