Palo Alto and Oakland have the same exemption that Los Gatos has.

San Leandro Possible hearing June 5. City attorney looking into possible ways to enforce.

San Francisco the largest and worst. This even goes after menthol products.

A bit on legislation and how many commissions legislation has to go through before it becomes a law.

This legislation goes before the public safety and neighborhoods committee.

San Francisco has 5 vapor shops serving 8 hundred thousand people.

A bit on vulnerable communities and higher smoking rates.

Flavor ban legislation being promoted as protecting those communities.

San Francisco had an existing definition of tobacco products that included vapor products before this legislation was even proposed.

Gateway myth.

Removal of menthol.

These policies put these communities at a disadvantage.

San Francisco's participation has been very low historically so it's harder to fight this sort of legislation.

A personal anecdote about nurses and doctors especially doctors who do their homework and nurses who may be misinformed.

Tobacco 21 legislation in Florida did not pass.

New York http://casaa.org/call-to-action/ny-help-us-stop-two-bills-that-would-restrict-access-to-and-use-of-vapor-products/

In years past the Senate has been reluctant to move these bills forward.

How close Cole/Bishop was to being included in the budget.

With Cole/Bishop out of play until September possibly our next substantive legislative steps.

Legislative delay.

Next six months critical for vapor retailers and manufacturers.This is also critical for the wide variety of products available to consumers.

Urge lawmakers to co-sponsorHR 1136

More aggressive local tobacco control legislative issues will occur.

How can we help with getting people engaged locally?

Not bad for vape shops but pulls them out of gas stations and convenience stores.

These bills passed the assembly with very little resistance.

There is a lot of pressure on the senate to move the house bills.

In New York as your senators to oppose an indoor use ban and oppose the tobacco 21 legislation.
