WHEREAS, new unregulated high-tech nicotine vaporizers (also referred to as electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes) have recently been made available to consumers, including minors, and allow users to inhale vaporized liquid nicotine created by heat through an electronic ignition system, and the vapors are expelled by a cartridge that usually contains a concentration of pure nicotine; and WHEREAS, liquid nicotine is a highly toxic substance and e-cigarettes release heated vapors that produce a "cloud" of undetermined substances; and WHEREAS, recently, many State Attorney Generals, including the Florida Attorney General, sent .a letter to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") urging the Agency to regulate electronic cigarettes in the same way it regulates tobacco products stating that e- cigarettes are being marketed to children through cartoon-like advertising characters and by offering fruit and candy flavors, much like cigarettes were once marketed to attain new smokers; and WHEREAS, the FDA and public health advocates have warned these flavorings are purposefully meant to appeal to and attract young people and are commonly referred to as "training wheels" for traditional cigarettes; and WHEREAS, studies show that adolescents can become addicted to nicotine after ingesting the equivalent of 20 traditional cigarettes, the amount typically available in a single pack, which can lead young people into a lifetime of nicotine addiction; and WHEREAS, in the United States, more than 90% of current adult smokers began smoking before the age of 18 and the younger an individual is when he or she experiments with smoking, the more likely he or she is to become a regular or daily smoker; and WHEREAS, two-thirds of children who begin smoking in the sixth grade become regular adult smokers, and almost half (46%) of those who initiate smoking in _the eleventh g rade become regular adult smokers; and WHEREAS, the percentage of United States middle and high school students who use electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, more than doubled from 2011 to 2012, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and WHEREAS, federal law restricting the sale of tobacco products to minors currently applies only to cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco, and does not apply to nicotine vaporizers; and WHEREAS, the Miami Beach City Commission supports Senate Bill 224 and House Bill 153 which provide amendments to the Florida Statutes to extend their current prohibitions relating to tobacco products for minors (persons under the age of eighteen (18)) to prohibit the sale, gifting, possession or use of nicotine dispensing devices, including electronic cigarettes to and by minors. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, that Governor Rick Scott and the Members of the Florida Legislature are hereby urged to support Senate Bill 224 and House Bill 153 which would extend the current prohibitions relating to tobacco products for persons under the. age of eighteen, by prohibiting the sale, gifting, possession, or use of nicotine vaporizers and liquid nicotine dispensing devices, including electronic cigarettes, to and by persons under the age of eighteen; and the City Clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Governor Rick Scott, Senate President Don Gaetz, the Speaker of the House Will Weatherford, and the members of the Miami-Dade County Legislative Delegation.
