1 Emerging Forms of Tobacco in the U.S. Alternative Forms of Tobacco aka Potentially Reduced Exposure Products (PREPS)

2 New Tobacco Products Once limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco and chewing or spit tobacco, tobacco products today come in more flavors, forms, shapes and sizes, and with more unproven health claims, than ever before. Key trends include: Introducing flavored products Creating novel smokeless products Targeting products and marketing Sustaining addiction and discouraging quitting

3 Reduced Exposure vs. Reduced Risk Reduced Exposure: The shortened level of secondhand smoke omitted and its inhalation to non-smokers Reduced Risk: A lower risk of negative health effects associated with the use of the tobacco product

4 New Advertisement Methods Manufacturers focus on the habits, desires, and tastes of their intended audience. The tobacco pandemic is a communicated disease. It is communicated through advertising, through the example of smokers and through the smoke to which non-smokers- especially children-are exposed. – Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director General, World Health Organization, 1999

12 Reduced Risk Products Advertise they have less nicotine or tobacco therefore it is a safer alternative Some products substitute tobacco for other harmful substances that can contain carbon monoxide and propylene glycol Can still have a high level nicotine There are not current studies supporting the use of these products, no safe level!

13 E-cig: Nicotine, No Tobacco Heats up nicotine instead of burning it No carcinogens or tar Blows out vapors A mix of water, nicotine, artificial smoke flavor and propylene glycol, the chemical used in fog-making machines. "The electronic cigarette is not a proven nicotine replacement therapy," said Dr Ala Alwan, Assistant Director-General of WHO's Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health Cluster.

22 Moving from ideas to action Questions to ask yourself when making an action plan: Have a goal. How can we write down the goal in simple terms? How to spread the message who needs to be educated, how do we get our message out, etc When to begin and end the work towards this goal. Are these dates realistic in terms of what everyone can do? Materials are neededfood, pencils and paper, poster board, etc Make sure that everyone knows what their responsibility will be. How do we evaluate the successfulness of the action steps? How do we know when weve finished the steps?

23 Techniques Hosting tobacco education events Educate Staff about new products to help with Compliance Host events with your TRU club at school Submitting letters to the editor to your local newspapers. Educate Family and Friends Continue to research and stay up to date!
