TCN Teleconference Series
An Introduction to E-Cigarettes for States and Locals
Monday, April 29, 2013
12 p.m. PT/1 p.m. MT/2 p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET - 90 minutes
Summary:
Everyone seems to be talking about e-cigarettes right now. Sales of the products are continuing to increase, with the potential to overtake traditional cigarette sales in the next decade. FDA has warned of the potential health risks of the products and announced its intent to regulate them. E-cigarette retailers and users claim to be pitted against Big Tobacco as policies to regulate the products are introduced in several states. To help you stay informed about this emerging issue, the National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH) and the Tobacco Control Network (TCN) will present this webinar on e-cigarettes as the second of a two-part webinar series on harm reduction issues. The first webinar on April 15th will focus on recent state harm reduction proposals, and provide tools and messages to counter the industry. This second webinar will feature speakers from the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, Legacy, Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, California Attorney General’s Office, and Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, WA.
