10.A.1. Electronic Nicotine Delivery Devices (Electronic Cijarettes <br />or E -Cigarettes) Ordinance (Legislative) <br />County Attorney Dylan Reingold stated the purpose of this item was to amend the <br />Ordinance to include as a tobacco product, electronic or e -cigarettes, and the definition of <br />electronic nicotine delivery device; also, to clearly prohibit any electronic nicotine delivery <br />devices from being provided to minors. <br />In discussion, several Commissioners expressed their understanding that the intent of this <br />Ordinance was to make sure that these items are not available on sale counters for dispensing to <br />minors. However, it was not their intention to add additional duties to Code Enforcement. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. <br />Dr. Barry Hummel, Jr., agreed with the Board on their intent not to give Code <br />Enforcement additional work, and he felt the Board was doing a good job keeping the e - <br />cigarettes out of the hands of minors. However, he wanted to address the issue of the Florida <br />Clean Indoor Air Act (FCIAA), stating that a lot of people promoting e -cigarettes will tell you <br />that it is not smoking; it is vaping. As a result, he stated that it is not really clear that it falls <br />under the FCIAA. Dr. Hummel offered to bring back a presentation regarding the FCIAA on <br />this subject, if it was the pleasure of the Board. <br />There were no other speakers, and the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED by <br />Vice Chairman Davis, to adopt the Ordinance, amended to strike <br />Section 313.04, the Selling and Merchandising of Tobacco <br />Products to Persons Under 18 Years of Age. <br />October 22, 2013 12 <br />BK 144 PG 491 <br />
