4 1 Intro. No RESOLUTION NO. _ Page _1 of 2_ pages County Attorney. URGING STATE LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVES AMEND THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW IN RELATION TO INCREASING THE PURCHASING AGE FOR TOBACCO PRODUCTS FROM EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY-ONE Offered by: Ways & Means Committee WHEREAS, New York State Public Health Law Article 13-F currently prohibits the sale of tobacco and related products to individuals under the age of eighteen, and WHEREAS, amending Public Health Law Article 13-F to prohibit the sale of tobacco and related products to individuals under twenty-one years of age would: a) further the goals of New York State's tobacco use prevention and control program, as identified in New York State Public Health Law 1399-ii; b) respond to the fact that tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in New York State; c) respond to findings made by the Institute of Medicine, which prepared a report at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration entitled "Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products," concluding and suggesting that: i. adolescent brains are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of nicotine; ii. a younger age of initiation is strongly associated with greater nicotine dependence and is also associated with greater intensity and persistence of smoking beyond adolescence and into adulthood; iii. almost one in five high school seniors is a current cigarette smoker; iv. underage users rely primarily on social sources, such as friends and family, to acquire tobacco, and most of these sources are likely to be between eighteen and twenty years old; v. raising the minimum legal age to twenty-one will mean that those who can legally obtain tobacco are less likely to be in the same social networks as high school students; vi. delaying initiation rates will likely decrease the prevalence of tobacco users vii. in the U.S. population; and raising the minimum legal age will likely immediately improve the health of adolescents and young adults by reducing the number of those with adverse physiological effects; d) respond to findings that most of those addicted to tobacco, start using tobacco before twenty-one years of age; e) respond to the growing rates of electronic cigarette use among youth, which expose users to unhealthy levels of nicotine and other unknown harmful chemicals; f) reduce the exposure of our youth to disease-causing toxins in secondhand smoke and in chemicals emitted from electronic cigarettes, liquid nicotine, shisha, herbal cigarettes, and other Prohibited Products as defined in New York State Public Health Law Article 13-F as the same may be amended from time to time, and when not so defined, as commonly understood to be defined;

5 2 Intro. No Page 2 of 2 pages g) apply evidence-based strategies to address the public health issues that result from tobacco use including but not limited to cancer, heart disease, and lung disease; h) prevent exposure of youth, who are particularly susceptible to addiction, to the chemically addictive effects of tobacco and related products, in an effort to improve public wellness and reduce health insurance expenditures; and i) protect young New York residents from the unregulated and unknown effects of electronic cigarettes, herbal cigarettes, and other Prohibited Products, and WHEREAS, over twenty localities in New York State have enacted legislation to increase the purchasing age for tobacco products to twenty-one, and WHEREAS, New York State legislative representatives should respond to such local legislative initiatives by amending Public Health Law Article 13-F to prohibit the state-wide sale of tobacco and related products to individuals under twenty-one years of age, now, therefore, be it 1. That the Allegany County Board of Legislators hereby urges state legislative representatives amend the Public Health Law in relation to increasing the purchasing age for tobacco products from eighteen to twenty-one. 2. That the Clerk of this Board is directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo; State Senator Catharine M. Young; Assemblyman Joseph M.
