Public Health Impact of
E-CigaretteNaping Use
     Scott A. Rivkees, MD
    State Surgeon General
Florida Department of Health
    -




Florida Department of Health
The role of the Department of Health is to:
•       Identify, diagnose, and conduct surveillance of diseases and health
        conditions in the state and accumulate the health statistics necessary
        to establish trends
•       Implement interventions that prevent or limit the impact or spread of
        diseases and health conditions
•       Collect, manage, and analyze vital statistics and other health data to
        inform the public and formulate public health policy and planning
Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling an aerosol,
often referred to as vapor, which is produced by an
e-cigarette or similar device.

The term is used because e-cigarettes do not produce
tobacco smoke, but rather an aerosol, often mistaken
for water vapor, that actually consists of fine particles.

Many of these particles contain varying amounts of toxic
chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, as well as
respiratory and heart disease.

•   Most e-cigarette devices have a battery, a heating
    element, and a receptacle to hold a liquid.

•   The devices heat a liquid - typically containing
    nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals - and
    produce an aerosol.                                  I

•   E-cigarettes are known by many different names.
    They are sometimes called "e-cigs," "mods," "vape
    pens," "vapes," and "tank systems."

•   They are also called by their brand names, such as
    JUUL.

surcharge on cigarettes , wraps, and tobacco
products other than cigars. Cigars are excluded
from surcharge and excise taxation per s.

During FY 2018- 19, the Division collected over
$254,000,000 in cigarette excise tax, over         The Division maintains an Elec tronic Data Submission (EDS) system .

In FY 18-19, the Division performed over 52,000 alcoholic beverage and tobacco inspections, with a staff of
188 dedicated Bureau of Enforcement employees across 12 district offices .

    and licenses, and failure to maintain records as required by law.

In FY 17-18 and FYl 8-19, the Division performed over 5,500 total tobacco compliance surveys to determine
whether licensees were complying with minimum age of purchase restrictions in Florida law.

    Background and Methods
•   Since 2002, the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey is
    administered each spring to public middle and high school
    students across Florida.

•   In even numbered years, sample size is larger to produce
    county-level estimates.

•   In odd numbered years, sample size is only large enough to
    produce state-level estimates.

•   In 2019, students were surveyed in 40 out of the 67
    counties.

•   Final sample size was 9,819 across grades 6 through 12.

•   The margin of error is less than 2.0 percentage po~ts for
    middle school and high school prevalence rates.

                   Trend Summary
•   Among high school students, alcohol, cigarette, marijuana, and
    Rx pain reliever use continue their long-term decline.

•   Among middle school students, the substance use decline has
    stalled.

•   The majority of students who vape nicotine did not
    transition from smoking cigarettes. Their vaping is
    independent of cigarette use.

         Introduction
         • Use of electronic cigarette ("e-cigarette")
           devices has exploded in popularity in recent
           years
         • These battery-operated devices
            • heat liquids, oils, or waxes containing
              nicotine, cannabinoids, synthetic
              cannabinoids, illicit drugs, and other
              chemical compounds,
            • producing an aerosolized vapor
            • that can be inhaled, or vaped, by the user

         Aim
         • To characterize the pathologic changes that occur
           in the lung:
             • Exogenous lipoid pneumonia?
                • Much recent attention has been given to the
                  possibility that vaping-associated lung injury
                  may represent exogenous lipoid pneumonia
             • Acute lung injury pattern?
                • Acute lung injury patterns include:
                    • acute fibrinous pneumonitis,
                    • diffuse alveolar damage, and
                            . .            .
                    • organ1z1ng pneumonia

         Methods
         • The study was approved by the Institutional
           Review Board at Mayo Clinic (IRB# 19-008434)
         • In all cases,
             • a diagnosis of vaping-associated lung injury
               was favored clinically, and
             • biopsies were performed to confirm this
               clinical impression and rule out other causes

         Methods (continued)
         • Cases were classified using criteria for vaping-
           related lung injury recently proposed by the CDC
             • "Confirmed"
                 • 1) use of an e-cigarette or vaping device
                   within 90 days of symptom onset
                 • 2) presence of pulmonary infiltrates
                 • 3) absence of clinical and laboratory
                   evidence of infection
                 • 4) absence of evidence for alternative
                   diagnoses
             • "Probable"
                 • Identical criteria with the exception of #3

         Results: Clinical Findings
         • Eleven patients met CDC criteria for a
           "confirmed" diagnosis, with the remaining six
           patients meeting CDC criteria for a "probable"
           designation

         Results: Clinical Findings (continued)
         • Two patients were vaping in an attempt to quit
           smoking tobacco
         • Twelve patients (71 °/o) reported vaping
            • tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
            • cannabis oils,
            • cannabidiol (CBD), or
            • other non-nicotine products
         • Both manufactured prepackaged vape pods
           and open access tank style vaporizers were

         • We believe that the histologic changes suggest
           that vaping-associated lung injury represents
             • a form of airway-centered chemical
               pneumonitis from one or more inhaled toxic
               substances
             • not exogenous lipoid pneumonia
         • The agents responsible remain unknown

    • Sottera., Inc. v. Food & Drug Administration., 627
      F.3d 891 (D.C. Cir. 2010)
       -   In 2008, the FDA stopped shipments of e-cigarettes into the United States
       -   The FDA claimed the products were unapproved drug-device combination
           products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that were
           intended to help treat the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine addiction
       -   Two e-cigarette distributors sued the FDA requesting a preliminary
           injunction. They claimed the products were tobacco products for "smoking
           pleasure," not drug-device combination products

    Between the filing of the lawsuit and a decision for a preliminary injunction, Congress
    passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act)
    and it was signed into law.

    Ultimately, The D.C. Circuit found that under the Tobacco Control Act, all products made
    or derived from tobacco and intended for human consumption that are "marketed for
    therapeutic purposes" are subject to FDA's drug and/or device provisions, whereas
    "customarily marketed tobacco products" are subject to regulation as "tobacco
    products".

    The FDA decided not to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court and instead issued a
    statement of its intent to regulate e-cigarettes as a tobacco product .

    • Florida needs to take a comprehensive approach to
      combating the tobacco and e-cigarette epidemic
      -   Update the definition of "tobacco products" to include all products that are
          available on the market
      -   Require tobacco retail licensing for all retailers, including e-cigarette retailers
      -   Legislation increasing the age of sale for tobacco products should include all
          products, all people and preserve local control
      -   Impose a State Tax: 85% of wholesale price would put e-cigarettes inline with
          the tax on other non-cigarette tobacco products
