Good morning, On Thursday afternoon last week, Steve and I talked about a timeline for the e-cigs and SIPP regulations. Apparently, Dr. Chen would like to see both of these regulations passed at the May 4th board meeting. Thatleaves us with about 4 weeks to get everything done. Greg Jacoby (legal counsel) is working on the regulation language but we have other things that we need to do toprepare for this. Do you have some time to meet this AM to discuss? I know that Tutricia is out on vacation but if the rest of uscould meet, that would be great. I’ll send out a meeting request shortly. Thanks, Kirsten

I am writing to extend an invitation to visit our shop to see first hand how electronic cigaretteswork. I opened this shop in January 2011 due to my success quitting a 20+ year smoking habit through the use ofsmoke-less e-cigs. Since opening, we have sold over 150 starter kits to smokers that wanted to rid themselves ofthe negative health effects caused by cigarettes. Our success over the last 3 months is directly connected to thesuccess rate of our clients; approximately 40% of our business comes from referrals of those whohave been triumphant in either quitting or dramatically reducing the amount they smoke. We hear positive storieseveryday from those who have started vaping and consequently stopped smoking. The majority of our clients range from 35-60 years of age and have smoked for over 20 years. All of them havereported to having tried several times and several ways to quit smoking with zero success until using our products. As of yet, not one e-cigarette sale has been to a non-smoker that decided to start vaping. Although there is currentlyno regulation restricting us from selling to minors, we do not and will not ever sell this product to a minor; minors arenot allowed on premise unless accompanied by an adult guardian. It is my understanding that Pierce County is currently discussing regulating electronic cigarettes. I am strongly infavor of regulation. Recently, Spokane County implemented thoughtful regulation of e-cigarettes, banning them fromminors and on school property. I believe this to be accurate decision making on the part of Spokane County andwould like to see this same ruling take place in Pierce County. It has been my personal experience that allowing adults to vaporize in public does not encourage smokers to light upnor does it encourage non-smokers or minors to start vaping. On the contrary, vaping in public (especially in bars

Page 1

8_19_2011

and restaurants that cater to adults) brings awareness to those who may otherwise not be exposed to e-cigarettes. Part of my marketing strategy is to be where smokers are in order to enlighten them to this amazing technology. When smokers see me vaping inside it immediately dawns on them that I am vaping a smokeless device which leadsthem to question the product and my success with electronic cigarettes. Many of our clients start vaping simply as analternative to smoking so that they can stay inside; this generally leads them to start vaping in all aspects of their dailylife instead of lighting up. I am sensitive to the fact that no one wants to glamorize nicotine and potentially create an atmosphere thatencourages children to start smoking or vaping. However, I do not believe that allowing a smoke-less device insidedoes this. Currently, smokers are relegated to outdoor areas where they are readily seen by many people includingthe youth. While it is true that some Vapers may continue to vape, many others do use this product to weenthemselves off of nicotine and consequently quitt smoking and vaporizing altogether. This is our hope for people whoare currently battling this addictive habit. Quitting is difficult, so anything we can do to make switching tovaporization more attractive WILL produce non-smokers. If the county were to ban the use of this product in publicit would greatly reduce the number of smokers that would be willing to try it. To send a new Vaper outdoors withthe smokers will likely result in relapse. I am very proud of the work we do. We have been a big part of positively effecting the lives and health of those inour community; not only those who smoke but those nearest the smokers; this product eliminates the dangers ofsecond-hand carcinogens. There is no smoke / carcinogens, ashes, or butts that liter our streets, vehicles, or homes. It is true that nicotine is an addictive substance just as caffeine is addictive however, ones addiction to nicotine doesnot cause others to be addicted simply by witnessing the act of vaping. After much research and speculation, I amunable to come up with any supportive information that would justify a ban of the kind that King County hasimplemented. I am proud to be a member of society within Pierce County, and have never felt that King County andtheir judgments were superior to ours. Below I have included informational links that help to uncover the true story behind smoke-less electronic cigarettes. Please feel free to come and visit or contact me at anytime with any concerns or questions. I thank you for your timeand consideration regarding this very important matter. We also encourage you to forward this to anyone that you believe would be interested in or benefit from thisinformation.

Good morning Heidi and Leonard. Say.....when you provide some comments at the BOH meeting on Wednesday,please don't say anything about the Health Dept providing to the BOH at their May meeting any resolutions about e-cigs or SIPP enforcement authorization. Dr. Chen will probably be advising the members of the BOH that theseresolutions are being worked on.....but the timing isn't set.

Heidi:

As I understand it, at this point e-cigarettes are not on the agenda.The Director anticipates as many as ten retailers may show up totestify, asking the Board not to pursue action similar to King County inbanning or restricting e-cigarettes.

I went on Google for e-cigarettes and only got 6,990,000 responses in .6seconds. Some are promoting, marketing or opposing, but there is a tonof information available. I will get the King County information, therelative law in Utah and what New York is considering.

I am not sure this is the meeting for the pros and cons of e-cigarettes.We may simply wish to cite the T/PCBH role as the protector of publichealth and the purely mercenary position of the retailers. They are thebad guy, endangering public health, particularly children, for their ownpersonal gain. The burden of future health care placed on the publicfrom tobacco use far exceeds their personal gain.

The pitch that e-cigarettes are a method of cessation is particularlyfar out, starting out with the strongest strength and then graduallygoing down to no nicotine in the e-cigarette. I am not aware of anyalcoholic who broke the habit by continuing to drink.

I will work on this more over the weekend.

Subject: RE: An Invitation to The Vaporium

She’s running a fairly smart campaign, I’d say. Her Facebook page is posting somewhat compelling articles, she’sasking for help from the CASAA e-cigs forum and she’s building her argument. The only weakness in her approachis that she’s showing us all her cards ahead of time!

I’d suggest that we build out a talk track that counters each of her points. I can build in some pre-resolution mediaoutreach, but we just have to expect that she’ll be included in any of those stories.

The big weakness in her arguments is that most are anecdotal- not proven. Although we don’t have the data tocounter argue the points, I suggest that we take it from a common sense approach (difficult to enforce if we can’t tellthe difference between e-cigs/reg cigs and they look so similar to real cigs that kids will be getting cross messaging).

Another thought- If we feel that point #2 in our e-cig regs (no smoking e-cigs in places where regular cigs areprohibited) is going to be the most highly contested argument, perhaps we can do our own quick study on this pointto gather some data.

Maybe do an article that addresses our point of view on the matter (directly speaking to her arguments but notalluding to her) and put in local papers.

It looks as if she has access to the study session minutes and/or follow up materials we sent to the BOH- herarguments are directly based off of our main points. Are study session minutes posted?

Attachments: May 2011 Tobacco Regulations_Comm Plan.docx

Hi Kirsten,

I'm getting close on the tobacco resolutions comms plan, and would love to chat it over with you and get somefeedback. The attached is VERY draft, but I want to know if you think this is getting close to what you're thinking.Some of this is probably overkill, but I'd rather start with it in there and cut stuff than realize that we didn't plan bigenough.

I'm in meetings galore tomorrow, so am not sure that I'll have much time to discuss, but I'm looking forward tohearing your thoughts!

Naomi:

Bridget is currently working on wording for a Paper of Record for a Public Hearing at TPCHD:

E-Cigarettes and Smoking in Public Places Regulations.

Once the wording is done, Samantha will submit a Green Sheet to Anne Dillon.

This needs to be published in the following papers: TNT, Pierce County Herald, and Tacoma Daily Index

It needs to be published on April 15.

1) What will the price of this be

2) When do we have to get this to them in order for it to be published on April 15

3) Who is our liaison for getting this published (ie., who do we give the final Paper of Record to, we think it'sBridget)

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Thanks Adrian.

I'm waiting for some examples of past public notices and will have the copy ready soon.

Anne is going on vacation, and I'm ultimately responsible for the green sheet process, so I will take that on for her onthis project. I'm not concerned about hitting the 4/8 deadline on this one since the content is fairly straight forward.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

I am writing to extend an invitation to visit our shop to see first hand how electronic cigaretteswork. I opened this shop in January 2011 due to my success quitting a 20+ year smoking habit through the use ofsmoke-less e-cigs. Since opening, we have sold over 150 starter kits to smokers that wanted to rid themselves ofthe negative health effects caused by cigarettes. Our success over the last 3 months is directly connected to thesuccess rate of our clients; approximately 40% of our business comes from referrals of those whohave been triumphant in either quitting or dramatically reducing the amount they smoke. We hear positive storieseveryday from those who have started vaping and consequently stopped smoking. The majority of our clients range from 35-60 years of age and have smoked for over 20 years. All of them havereported to having tried several times and several ways to quit smoking with zero success until using our products. As of yet, not one e-cigarette sale has been to a non-smoker that decided to start vaping. Although there is currentlyno regulation restricting us from selling to minors, we do not and will not ever sell this product to a minor; minors arenot allowed on premise unless accompanied by an adult guardian. It is my understanding that Pierce County is currently discussing regulating electronic cigarettes. I am strongly infavor of regulation. Recently, Spokane County implemented thoughtful regulation of e-cigarettes, banning them fromminors and on school property. I believe this to be accurate decision making on the part of Spokane County andwould like to see this same ruling take place in Pierce County. It has been my personal experience that allowing adults to vaporize in public does not encourage smokers to light upnor does it encourage non-smokers or minors to start vaping. On the contrary, vaping in public (especially in barsand restaurants that cater to adults) brings awareness to those who may otherwise not be exposed to e-cigarettes. Part of my marketing strategy is to be where smokers are in order to enlighten them to this amazing technology. When smokers see me vaping inside it immediately dawns on them that I am vaping a smokeless device which leadsthem to question the product and my success with electronic cigarettes. Many of our clients start vaping simply as analternative to smoking so that they can stay inside; this generally leads them to start vaping in all aspects of their dailylife instead of lighting up.

Page 1

8_19_2011

I am sensitive to the fact that no one wants to glamorize nicotine and potentially create an atmosphere thatencourages children to start smoking or vaping. However, I do not believe that allowing a smoke-less device insidedoes this. Currently, smokers are relegated to outdoor areas where they are readily seen by many people includingthe youth. While it is true that some Vapers may continue to vape, many others do use this product to weenthemselves off of nicotine and consequently quitt smoking and vaporizing altogether. This is our hope for people whoare currently battling this addictive habit. Quitting is difficult, so anything we can do to make switching tovaporization more attractive WILL produce non-smokers. If the county were to ban the use of this product in publicit would greatly reduce the number of smokers that would be willing to try it. To send a new Vaper outdoors withthe smokers will likely result in relapse. I am very proud of the work we do. We have been a big part of positively effecting the lives and health of those inour community; not only those who smoke but those nearest the smokers; this product eliminates the dangers ofsecond-hand carcinogens. There is no smoke / carcinogens, ashes, or butts that liter our streets, vehicles, or homes. It is true that nicotine is an addictive substance just as caffeine is addictive however, ones addiction to nicotine doesnot cause others to be addicted simply by witnessing the act of vaping. After much research and speculation, I amunable to come up with any supportive information that would justify a ban of the kind that King County hasimplemented. I am proud to be a member of society within Pierce County, and have never felt that King County andtheir judgments were superior to ours. Below I have included informational links that help to uncover the true story behind smoke-less electronic cigarettes. Please feel free to come and visit or contact me at anytime with any concerns or questions. I thank you for your timeand consideration regarding this very important matter. We also encourage you to forward this to anyone that you believe would be interested in or benefit from thisinformation.

Hi Kirsten,

Thanks for putting this together. Lots to get done between now and the May BOH mtg.

Here are some suggested changes:

1. Change the dates for the E-cig regulation given we don't have it from Greg yet. Might as well make the datesrealistic.

2. It looks like there's no time allowed to make changes to the SIPP regulation after Anthony reviews it. We shouldallow at least a day to make changes based on his feedback because we can expect he'll have comments. Will healso be reviewing the E-cig reg at the same time? To extent possible, should probably get drafts to Anthony earlierthan 4/14 assuming the 4/15 date of publishing notice of the regs is not negotiable.

3. Notification of the public - If I'm understanding correctly, the 4/15 date is when an add will run in the papersletting people know the draft regs are available for review and 4/27 is the meeting date for public comment. If this iscorrect, I would re-title first item under "Solicit Community Input" to something like, "Public notice that draftregulations are available for review" and, I think it would be good to add a task indicating you'll be working with Ginaand/or purchasing to get adds placed in "papers of record" and TNT (as you did for the public meeting 4/8).

4. Develop presentation for public hearing- would be good to indicate when first draft will be available for reviewand when Anthony will review it.

5. I would also suggest you use Bridget to help with the development of the presentation for the public meeting.

6. It might be a good idea to send info to the Board before 4/15 so they have a "heads-up" before it reaches thepapers. They may get calls on 4/15.

7. If there is to be a presentation at the 4/20 Board study session, you should probably add an item or two related tothe development and review of the presentation.

That's it for now. Thanks Kirsten.

If everyone could please take a careful look at the document and provide feedback on it by Friday of this week- thatwould be much appreciated. Please note the tight timeline and the designated lead that I have indicated for eachmajor area of activity.

Also, please note that we have weekly meetings scheduled into this document. These times have been determinedbased on Steve's schedule so would appreciate your flexibility in making these meetings work within your schedule.I'll be sending out meeting requests for these meetings later this morning. At the meetings, it would be great to havean update by each "lead" as to the status of the tasks he/she is working on.

Also, you will see a new name on our planning team- Sam Yeun. I have asked Sam to be involved to represent theE-Cigarette research portion of this work and bring a youth, diversity and partnership perspective. Sam and Brucewill be working together to help with supporting activities.

See you tomorrow at 1 PM. Will send out the meeting location later this morning.

Sounds good! See my responses below in bold. Thank you.

Thanks for all of your suggestions- I will incorporate into the final document. A few questions about your commentsbelow:

1. Sounds good

2. Steve and I had a lengthy discussion about this yesterday and Steve decided to keep this date as is whilerecognizing it's a quick turnaround time. The reason being is that Dr. Chen is out of the office until Thursday of nextweek so this is the first chance he'll have to review it. Steve thinks that Dr. Chen won't have many suggestedrevisions so we figured we could make the changes quickly and get the regs posted. This would be our tightesttimeline. If you still feel a concern about this, maybe we can talk with Steve and Greg about it tomorrow..... soundgood? Sounds good.

3. Sounds good

4. Sounds good

5. Sounds good

6. Sounds good but need clarification. When do you suggest we send based on comment #2 above? If we send aheads up to the board, should we include the regs or is that not necessary? Good point. We should discuss acommunication strategy so Board members know in advance that we'll be posting info in the papers on 4/15. We canprobably send them key points in the regs prior to 4/15 because they won't read the entire regs. Maybe it should bepart of the discussion Anthony has with board members between now and 4/15. If these conversations don't occur,we should be able to send them a "heads-up" email. Let's discuss tomorrow.

7. Sounds good

1. Sounds good2. Steve and I had a lengthy discussion about this yesterday and Steve decided to keep this date as is while

recognizing it’s a quick turnaround time. The reason being is that Dr. Chen is out of the office untilThursday of next week so this is the first chance he’ll have to review it. Steve thinks that Dr. Chen won’thave many suggested revisions so we figured we could make the changes quickly and get the regs posted. This would be our tightest timeline. If you still feel a concern about this, maybe we can talk with Steveand Greg about it tomorrow….. sound good?

3. Sounds good4. Sounds good5. Sounds good6. Sounds good but need clarification. When do you suggest we send based on comment #2 above? If we

send a heads up to the board, should we include the regs or is that not necessary?7. Sounds good

Thanks! Kirsten From: Frank DibiaseSent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 11:01 AMTo: Kirsten FrandsenSubject: FW: Updated process and timeline- request feedback by Friday Hi Kirsten, Thanks for putting this together. Lots to get done between now and the May BOH mtg. Here are some suggested changes:

1. Change the dates for the E-cig regulation given we don’t have it from Greg yet. Might as well make thedates realistic.

2. It looks like there’s no time allowed to make changes to the SIPP regulation after Anthony reviews it. Weshould allow at least a day to make changes based on his feedback because we can expect he’ll havecomments. Will he also be reviewing the E-cig reg at the same time? To extent possible, should probablyget drafts to Anthony earlier than 4/14 assuming the 4/15 date of publishing notice of the regs is notnegotiable.

3. Notification of the public – If I’m understanding correctly, the 4/15 date is when an add will run in thepapers letting people know the draft regs are available for review and 4/27 is the meeting date for publiccomment. If this is correct, I would re-title first item under “Solicit Community Input” to something like,“Public notice that draft regulations are available for review” and, I think it would be good to add a taskindicating you’ll be working with Gina and/or purchasing to get adds placed in “papers of record” and TNT(as you did for the public meeting 4/8).

4. Develop presentation for public hearing- would be good to indicate when first draft will be available forreview and when Anthony will review it.

5. I would also suggest you use Bridget to help with the development of the presentation for the publicmeeting.

6. It might be a good idea to send info to the Board before 4/15 so they have a “heads-up” before it reachesthe papers. They may get calls on 4/15.

7. If there is to be a presentation at the 4/20 Board study session, you should probably add an item or tworelated to the development and review of the presentation.

If everyone could please take a careful look at the document and provide feedback on it by Friday of this week-that would be much appreciated. Please note the tight timeline and the designated lead that I have indicated foreach major area of activity. Also, please note that we have weekly meetings scheduled into this document. These times have beendetermined based on Steve’s schedule so would appreciate your flexibility in making these meetings work withinyour schedule. I’ll be sending out meeting requests for these meetings later this morning. At the meetings, itwould be great to have an update by each “lead” as to the status of the tasks he/she is working on. Also, you will see a new name on our planning team- Sam Yeun. I have asked Sam to be involved to represent theE-Cigarette research portion of this work and bring a youth, diversity and partnership perspective. Sam and Brucewill be working together to help with supporting activities. See you tomorrow at 1 PM. Will send out the meeting location later this morning. Thanks everyone, Kirsten

We should discuss acommunication strategy so Board members know in advance that we'll be posting info in the papers on 4/15. We canprobably send them key points in the regs prior to 4/15 because they won't read the entire regs. Maybe it should bepart of the discussion Anthony has with board members between now and 4/15. If these conversations don't occur,we should be able to send them a "heads-up" email. Let's discuss tomorrow.

Attachments: 2011 Tobacco Workplan Allison.xlsx

Hi Kirsten,

I discussed with Elaine Ishihara your suggestion to ask as to whether APICAT thought they could help me meet mygoal of finding 4 community based organizations that would agree to develop cessation resources for their respectivecommunities. Elaine thought that we could build on TPCHD and APICAT efforts by training the Samoan Nurses ofWashington (SNOW) to provide cessation at the local Samoan churches. These churches are now part of a SamoanCoalition that attends APICAT meetings to add tobacco cessation, physical activity and nutrition to theircongregation's efforts (this also builds on our Chronic Disease prevention efforts from 2010 since SNOW was oneof the recipients of our mini-grants for these efforts).

Meanwhile, the local office of the Samoan National Nurses of America (SNNA) is now another possibility for asimilar effort since I just heard from Jackie Lesage (their chair, who is Filipina herself) that they are now focusing onthe Filipino community (our largest API minority in Pierce County) so that they are not competing with SNOW.SNNA are also members of APICAT and their main office is located at the Portland Ave. Community ResourceCenter.

On line 36 of the attached updated Cessation work plan, I rewrote my suggested interaction with APICAT toinclude the SNOW project and also potentially more API CBO's like SNNA as APICAT's efforts continue thisyear. If you can look over this aspect of the work plan and let me know when we meet next Tuesday (or sooner) ifthis looks do-able, then I could attend their meeting that follows our Tuesday morning meeting if you want me tocontinue to meet and partner with API CBO's for cessation.

We chatted about the strategic communications plan for so long during our 1:1 that I didn't get a chance to talk aboutyour next PCMS column.

Hi guys-

I wanted you all to see this. Anthony contributes a monthly column to the Pierce County Medical Society newsletter,which goes to most of the physicians in the county. The May issue is due next week, so I propose introducing someof the themes that we'll be relying on for the two regulations. It could be helpful to have the medical community awareof our efforts, and hopefully raise some support that way as well.

Let me know if you have any objections to the idea. I can add it to our communication plan as well. I think I havemost of the information I'll need to draft it, but might need to ask you all to review and confirm before it publishes.

Hi Liz,

Here's the draft article for the newsletter in case this helps any. Thanks.

From: Bridget VandeventerSent: Monday, April 11, 2011 11:53 AMTo: Frank Dibiase; Kirsten FrandsenSubject: RE: PCMS May column

Hi Frank and Kirsten,

Here's my first draft of the column. I need your help filling in some stats, which are called out inline either in highlightor comments. I have some data pulled from sources we've used recently, but I suspect your tobacco team has evenbetter data to flesh this out. We'll want to cite where the statistics are from too.

I'd love your opinion of it as well. Since this is to physicians, this is all about raising support for our resolutions in themedical community. Again this is my first draft and I haven't had anyone else look at it, so I'd love your feedback. It'sgot a rather persuasive tone, and I'm on the fence if it's too much.

We need to submit a draft to PCMS by Friday, and Anthony will have to approve first. I'd love to get this to himtomorrow-Wednesday - so could I get your feedback by noon tomorrow? I can make more time if you need it.

Thanks!

Bridget

I wanted you all to see this. Anthony contributes a monthly column to the Pierce County Medical Societynewsletter, which goes to most of the physicians in the county. The May issue is due next week, so I proposeintroducing some of the themes that we’ll be relying on for the two regulations. It could be helpful to have themedical community aware of our efforts, and hopefully raise some support that way as well. Let me know if you have any objections to the idea. I can add it to our communication plan as well. I think I havemost of the information I’ll need to draft it, but might need to ask you all to review and confirm before itpublishes. Thanks!

In the past I did one on Clean Air for Kids in 5/09 (attached). Just check with Steve & Frank regarding how this will impact the new timeline for their resolution. Also, you cannegotiate whether (or how much) you or their staff write the content. AC From: Bridget VandeventerSent: Friday, April 08, 2011 3:06 PMTo: Anthony ChenCc: Steve MarekSubject: PCMS May column Hi Anthony,We chatted about the strategic communications plan for so long during our 1:1 that I didn’t get a chance to talkabout your next PCMS column. With our plans around tobacco regulation for the next month or so, it seems like that could be a good topic for thecolumn. May is Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, and Clean Air month and then it ends with World NoTobacco Day on May 31. We can tie in statistics about tobacco use in Pierce County, information about e-cigarettesand introduce some of the issues we will be addressing with the two regulations. Since the audience is 95%physicians, this will be a helpful way to gain support and raise awareness of the regulations with an influentialaudience and support the work Steve and team are doing. Let me know if you are in agreement with this direction for the piece. If so, I will start drafting the column for yourreview next week. If it’s not the direction you’d like to go, please let me know what you would like instead.

If everyone could please take a careful look at the document and provide feedback on it by Friday of this week-that would be much appreciated. Please note the tight timeline and the designated lead that I have indicated foreach major area of activity. Also, please note that we have weekly meetings scheduled into this document. These times have beendetermined based on Steve’s schedule so would appreciate your flexibility in making these meetings work withinyour schedule. I’ll be sending out meeting requests for these meetings later this morning. At the meetings, itwould be great to have an update by each “lead” as to the status of the tasks he/she is working on. Also, you will see a new name on our planning team- Sam Yeun. I have asked Sam to be involved to represent theE-Cigarette research portion of this work and bring a youth, diversity and partnership perspective. Sam and Brucewill be working together to help with supporting activities. See you tomorrow at 1 PM. Will send out the meeting location later this morning. Thanks everyone, Kirsten

What you have asked for that are due on Fri. last week were:

1. FDA report on Toxin of E-cig & nicotine - Tutrecia has them

2. Where are FDA at on E-cig regulatoin/decision? Tutrecia has them

3. What the FDA approved NRT that can be used safe and effective? Tutrecia has them

4. Find youth who use E-cig. that can testify against E-cig. (I doubt that we'll find one, but have talked to Hanna andsaid that she'll look for one.) ESD has a youth identified. Bruce has this information.

5. Can we find businesses in PC that do not allow E-cig. to be used in their facilities? Email were sent to Tricia Senikand Heidi Henson at FHS and MHS. We have MHS tobacco and E-cig policy in file and Bruce has them. Waitingto hear from FHS.

More documents in Libshare in youth folder. Tutrecia knows where they are.

With our plans around tobacco regulation for the next month or so, it seems like that could be a good topic for thecolumn. May is Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, and Clean Air month and then it ends with World NoTobacco Day on May 31. We can tie in statistics about tobacco use in Pierce County, information about e-cigarettesand introduce some of the issues we will be addressing with the two regulations. Since the audience is 95%physicians, this will be a helpful way to gain support and raise awareness of the regulations with an influentialaudience and support the work Steve and team are doing. Let me know if you are in agreement with this direction for the piece. If so, I will start drafting the column for yourreview next week.

A scenario is, if an employee thinks that e-cig. can help reduce their smoking, would Multicare allows that individualto smoke e-cig. Inside the building/office? If yes, why and if no, why not?

Hi Lori,

As a follow up to yesterday’s meeting, I am attaching a few materials…..

I looked through the eval summary and it doesn’t seem to have a question about the location of the Summit (Murano)and whether folks liked it. This is strange as I thought it was in there. Perhaps it was just that I heard from a lot ofpeople that they really liked the venue that I thought it was on the eval.

Also, I am unable to find the survey/assessment questions but I do have a couple of documents that are wrap ups ofthis information that are attached. Lastly, it looks like we did send a Save the Date both electronically and in the

Thanks Anthony.

Attached is a cleaned up and final copy of this. I accepted your changes and made a few minor clarify edits. I amhaving Liz Pulos check the smoking rate figure for 1965. That data does not really add up quite right and I can’t findthe original source either, so I want to make sure it is accurate before we use it.

I’m hesitant to add more resource links at the end. Since this is primarily a hard copy/paper newsletter, I feel like

adding links does not add much value since they are not a simple click to get to that information.

With regards to adding Frank and Kirsten’s names, I would actually recommend that we keep it attributed to you.As part of our work to elevate your profile and leadership to the local medical community, I think it is important tohave this coming from you. Let me know if you are ok with that.

Finally, as I am working on developing how I write for you, I would love some specific feedback about the writingstyle. Do you like to be more formal? Do you like more stories, or more research? What is some feedback you havefrom this draft that I can use for the next thing I write for you? It is helpful for me to hear the reasons for edits so Ican get you better first drafts down the road.

Hi Kirsten,

Here are some dates for you to input into the calendar/work flow chart in the External Comms bucket. These are allpulled directly out of the communication plan, which is attached here. This is basically done, but I assume I'll get finalapprovals on it at some point from Steve and Anthony. (You can put whatever date you want on it for the chart.)

5/13-5/25: Stakeholder engagement. (This is in the plan, but I can work with you to develop what that looks like andwho is involved.

5/16: Publish notices in papers of record and other event calendars.

The comms plan is already done (See attached) so it doesn't really matter to me what the date on it is.

5/27: Curtain raiser story.

6/2: Issue press release about successful passing of regulation. (Of course this depends on it passing, but this is whenwe'd do it if it does. I'll have the release pre-drafted so we can turn it around quickly.)

6/2: Thank you's to BOH members who voted for the regulation.

6/2 (and beyond): Stakeholder engagement about the changes.

I could use your help identifying the stakeholder groups we'll need to work with for this. We'll want both theproponents and the opponents. Can you help with that?

Thanks!

I just took a look through the minutes to get some information about comments made by a couple of BOH membersregarding our upcoming Tobacco legislation. However; I didn't see them referenced in the minutes. Am I able to geta copy of the audio recording of the meeting?

Also, I did see extensive minutes from Kim Thompson of the Vaporium expressing her views on the upcoming e-cigarette regulation. However; I understand that there were 2 other speakers (Heidi Hanson and LeonardSanderson) who also provided testimony. I did not see this reflected in the minutes...... I'm thinking that they need tobe included to be consistent - Frank?

Hi Liz and Kirsten,

Attached is the draft of the PCMS column with Dr. Chen's edits. He made quite a few changes, but I think thedirection is still the same and it does push appropriately on the e-cigarette issue.

Liz- he added a stat from this site (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762370.html) about adult smoking rates in1965. It cites the CDC, but I can't find the original report anywhere. I'm hesitant to include it without an accuratesource. Can you help me? If it's not this source, do you think we can find one that makes a similar point?

Hi Tutricia, Steve would like us to have a sample e-cigarette (perhaps kit?)
