13 October 21, 2015 | FDLI LOOKING AT NICOTINE DIFFERENTLY 12 Recognize that there is a continuum of nicotine-containing products Understand that people smoke for the nicotine but die from the tar Acknowledge public health opportunity Also acknowledge role that flavored tobacco products may play in holding back progress in harm reduction COMBUSTIBLES NRT

14 October 21, 2015 | FDLI THE NICOTINE REALITY 13 It’s not the drug…it’s the delivery mechanism The disease and death is primarily due to combusting tobacco products So if Michael Russell was right 40 years ago, how should we be thinking about nicotine today? The “net” assessment of population-level impact is key –Potential benefit to currently addicted smokers unable or unwilling to quit who completely substitute –Clear harm from any initiation by kids –Unknown longer-term impact of dual use rather than complete substitution –Unknown impact on cessation rates

27 October 21, 2015 | FDLI FRESH EMPIRE CAMPAIGN 26

28 October 21, 2015 | FDLI THE IMPORTANCE OF REACHING MULTICULTURAL YOUTH 27 The campaign targets youth who have historically been underserved by previous tobacco control efforts and are considered a hard-to-reach population The 2012 Preventing Tobacco Use Among Youth and Young Adults Surgeon General Report reported that there is “sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a causal relationship between peer group social influences and the initiation and maintenance of smoking behaviors during adolescence” Tobacco use contributes to a range of negative health outcomes, such as cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness, and these consequences disproportionately affect some minority racial groups, with African Americans experiencing the greatest health burden

29 October 21, 2015 | FDLI THE FRESH EMPIRE CAMPAIGN 28 The Fresh Empire campaign leverages the peer crowd approach to reach at-risk Multicultural youth (ages 12-17) – specifically African- American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific-Islander – and encourage them to live tobacco-free
