ITEM SUMMARY: It has been determined that breathing ambient smoke is a health hazard to both Smokers and nonsmokers. Cigarette Smoking also produces several substances that are considered hazardous to health including carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, nitrous oxide and formaldehyde. Secondhand smoke (68 percent of the total Smoke produced by a cigarette) affects the health of the bystander, interfering with respiratory tract defenses, often causing nonsmokers to have allergic or irritative reactions, and is a known cause of lung cancer,

The use of e-cigarettes, as an alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes, has proliferated in recent years. This is almost entirely due to an explosion in teen use of e-cigarettes, hookahs and Vaping. More than 3 million middle and high school aged students were current users of e-cigarettes in 2015, up from an estimated 2.46 million in 2014, Ecigarettes have become the perfect addiction machine enticing a new generation of young people to lifelong nicotine dependence. The battery-powered devices heat a nicotine solution to create a vapor that users inhale. Although often marketed as safe, the United States Food and Drug Administration has issued a caution related to e-cigarettes because the safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes have not been fully researched and studied, and it is not known if the use of e-cigarettes may lead young people to try tobacco products, including conventional cigarettes, which are known to cause disease and lead to premature death.

Upon researching this issue, we found that in addition to the State of Illinois regulating the sale of e-cigarettes or other tobacco-free nicotine products, the following municipalities had also revised or enacted an ordinance to include liquid nicotine products (e-cigarettes):

o City of DeKalb passed an Ordinance stating “It shall be unlawful to sell or give away tobacco (inclusive of devices or products related to Smoking as defined herein, such as e-cigarettes) in any form in the City of DeKalb without first obtaining a license issued by the City of DeKalb for such purpose, provided that no license shall be required for sales at wholesale. No Tobacco License or Retail Tobacco Store license shall be issued to any company or person who is more than thirty days delinquent in the payment of any obligation to the City of DeKalb.'

o City of Evanston passed an ordinance stating “It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale, at retail, to give away, deliver or to keep with the intention of selling at retail, giving away or delivering tobacco or liquid nicotine products within the City without having first obtained a license therefor. Said license shall be required regardless of the method of sale or dispensing and shall include Sales and dispensing by self-help,

CITY OF WEST CHICAGO

manual Service, mechanical service or coin-operated device.

o City of Highland Park passed an Ordinance stating "It shall be unlawful to engage in the sale at retail of tobacco

products or e-cigarettes in any form or in any number without having first obtained a license therefor.”

o City of Naperville passed an Ordinance stating “It shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale at retail in the City any tobacco products and/or alternative nicotine products without having a cigarette and tobacco dealer's license, or in violation of the terms of such license.

o Wood Dale passed an Ordinance stating "No person shall engage in the sale of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes or their components, cigars or tobacco in any form at retail within the corporate limits of the City without having applied for and received a license thereof from the City Clerk.”

O In the State of Illinois it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to possess e-cigarettes or other tobacco-free

nicotine products.

Staff is not looking to ban the sale or possession of e-cigarettes; we are requesting e-cigarettes be regulated as tobacco and that individuals wishing to offer for sale e-cigarettes would be required to obtain a Tobacco License as

spelled out in the Ordinance.

Therefore staff would like to revise the City Code regarding tobacco to include e-cigarettes. Their popularity among young people has raised concerns among public health officials. While researchers generally agree that Vaping is less dangerous than smoking, burning tobacco releases multiple carcinogens, and the long-term effects of using ecigarettes are unknown. The FDA says that regulation is needed because nicotine in any form is addictive."
