Vape waste is especially bad for the environment because it is three forms of waste in one: plastic waste (packaging, pod), hazardous waste (nicotine reservoir, nicotine residue) , and electronic waste (lithium-ion battery, heating element). All of these are hazardous for the environment.

Cigarette filters put us all in danger—the filters do not make smoking safer and they damage all living things. The industry makes filters from microplastic fibers, which pollute our soil, food, and water. New studies suggest these plastics are linked to changes in DNA. They’re destroying our environment—and may wind up inside you and the ones you love.

FAQ Why are you inspecting my business? On July 11, 2023, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance mandating a tobacco retail license in unincorporated Humboldt County. This means that all tobacco retailers must obtain licenses to sell tobacco, as well as comply with all county, state and federal laws. On Jan. 15, 2024, the Board implemented a fee structure which allows tobacco retailers to apply for a local license. What are you looking for? We are visiting to provide education and information to help you comply with all tobacco-related laws and ordinances that apply to your business. We will be looking for compliance with local, state and federal laws including Article 5 of the Health and Safety Code of California (formerly known as SB793 or Prop 31), the STAKE Act and the Humboldt County Tobacco Retail Licensing Ordinance. What is going to happen during the inspection? Staff from the Department of Health & Human Services Division of Environmental Health (DEH) will come into your store and identify themselves. They will inspect the products on your shelves, posted licenses, signage and store displays. They will talk with you about what they see. They will take notes and pictures. If they find products that should not be sold or any other potential violation, they will let you know and will discuss how to fix the issue. At the end of the inspection, they will conduct an exit interview and provide you with a written report.

VIOLATION PROCESS What if I'm selling a product that isn't legal? During the inspection, if products that are not permitted to be sold are found, you as the retailer/retailer’s agent will be notified and given up to 30 days to fix the issue on the first violation. On a return compliance check, if the products are still out, that will constitute a second violation and you will be given an addition 30 days to come back into compliance. Failure to come into compliance after the second violation may trigger administrative and/or financial action to be taken on the violation. DEH will provide information on how to correct the violation and provide time to do so. Do I have any rights in terms of violations during an inspection? Yes, you have the right to file an appeal. You can ask your inspector for more information on this if it occurs. Can I file a complaint if I have concerns about the inspection or inspector? Yes, you may contact DEH at 1-707-445-6215 to report a complaint.

HOW DO I RENEW OR OBTAIN A TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE? The term of a tobacco retailer license is one year. To renew a tobacco retail license, the retailer must submit a license fee and apply for the renewal of the license no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of a current license. • Late fees may be applied if the payment of the annual license fee is not made by the expiration date. • An application for a tobacco retail license shall include proof of all necessary state licenses, an application fee that is nonrefundable and the license fee.

Designing Your Own CEA Program

Introduction/Background

INTRODUCTION

What is a CEA?

The Effectiveness of CEAs

most impacted by tobacco-related disparities and located in the various regions of the county that are characterized as urban, suburban, desert, rural, valley, and mountain With increased funding allocations from Proposition 56, the California Healthcare, Research, and Prevention Tobacco Act of 2016, CHC was able to achieve its objective of reaching priority populations and geographically distanced communities of the county through the development and implementation of a CEA Program During the 4 5-year plan period, the program awarded 15 CEAs to community organizations throughout the county ranging between $3,824 - $5,000, for a total amount of $72,675 in grant funding As a result of the CEA Program and partnerships developed during the implementation of funded activities, tobacco prevention policy campaigns were successful in communities such as Adelanto, Colton, and Hesperia In 2022, an evaluation was conducted of CHC’s CEA Program in San Bernardino County The purpose of the evaluation was two-fold: (1) to assess the satisfaction of the funded participant organizations in the program, and gather their ideas for ways to improve the CEA program, and (2) to identify how these educational campaigns may have fostered community empowerment

WHAT IS A CEA? A Community Engagement Agreement (CEA) is a type of subcontract, valued at less than $5,000 CEAs are meant to support California Tobacco Prevention Program (CTPP)-funded projects in completing approved scope of work (SOW) activities This funding allows agencies that may be new to tobacco prevention to explore creative ideas that advance local policy campaigns and community engagement work CEAs can help CTPP-funded projects engage otherwise hard to-reach communities Utilizing CEAs is meant to simplify the opportunity to engage with partners who are possibly less familiar with tobacco-related work, help build buy-in and familiarity with tobacco related issues, and establish organizational relationships that can ultimately lead to increased authentic community engagement THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CEAS When developing the 2017-2021 San Bernardino County LLA Tobacco Control Plan, California Health Collaborative (CHC) explored ways to expand the program’s reach and services with the populations CEAS CAN HELP YOU ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN CREATIVE WAYS.

Evaluation

Direct CEAs vs CEA Program

As discussed previously, CTPP-funded projects can decide to award CEAs as one-off opportunities for partners and other interested agencies, or they can establish a more formal CEA Program that seeks to award funds to a range of projects on a yearly basis A CEA Program can be structured in a way that best fits the needs of the funded project and most strategically supports the policy campaigns of Coalition members and community partners The following section of the toolkit will outline the different steps to take when establishing a CEA Program as well as how activities completed by CEA recipients can be monitored and reported by the CTPP-funded project ELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS The key to a successful CEA Program is to have a wide range of organizations receive funding to participate CEAs serve as a unique mechanism through which CTPP-funded projects can engage new and non-traditional partners with the work To allow for this to happen, it is recommended that eligibility requirements be as flexible as possible, within the limitations of our funding RECRUITMENT I

Most nonprofit organizations with a valid tax ID are eligible for a CEA, as long as they are able to certify that they do not have any conflict of interest that would affect their ability to engage in tobacco prevention work This predominately means that they are not currently accepting funds from the tobacco industry or its affiliates The most recently updated Certification of No Conflict-of-Interest form that CEA recipients should be asked to sign is included in the Policy Section of the CTPP Administrative and Policy Manual found in OTIS CTPP-funded projects are advised to routinely monitor this form in OTIS to be certain it is the most up-to-date version Aside from ensuring that the funded agency does not have a conflict of interest with the tobacco or cannabis industries, it is also important to determine that the potential CEA recipient is not already in some way receiving tobacco tax revenue This would include K-12 public schools that receive tobacco tax funding through the Office of Education or private and public institutions receiving Tobacco Related Disease Research Program (TRDRP) funds The key point to consider is that CEA funds should not overlap with any other tobacco tax funding

Inquire how they were or were not supported Include any specific TA examples

Do you feel you were supported in completing the application?

Anything else you want to say about the application process?

Cost-effectiveness: These questions concern the impact of the funding; whether these organizations could have implemented these activities without such funding; and, the overall value of time, money, and activities associated with the funding

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Inquire to get at specifics of the impact of activities

How much impact do you think your activities had?

What opportunities did this grant funding allow your organization to do that it wouldn’t have had the resources to do otherwise? We sometimes use a term “bang for the buck” to describe cost-effectiveness Thinking back on the earlier question about the activity you felt was most effective, did it have a bang for the buck?

GENERAL INFORMATION

doing a competitive bidding process In all cases, CEA awardees must be selected in a fair and unbiased manner to eliminate any real or perceived allegation of preference (e g , favoritism, bias, or nepotism) The process to select a CEA may be formal through a competitive bid process (RFP or Invitation to Bid document, scored selection criteria, justification provided if three bids are unable to be obtained, etc ) or informal (i e no formal award process), as best determined by the prime agency A competitive bid process would only be required if the award amount is $5,000 or more within the prime agency’s entire project term This, however, would be considered a subcontract and not a CEA and would therefore require approval from the prime agency’s CTPP Program Consultant and Procurement Manager For more information on the competitive bid process, please see Section 305 of the Policy Section of the CTPP Administrative and Policy Manual Q4: Are there differences between a CEA Program and a direct CEA? A4: Yes A CEA Program can provide more structure to the way CEAs are awarded, and by providing the funding opportunity annually with a similar release date and implementation period every year, prospective applicants know what to expect and

Q1: What are the benefits of Community Engagement Agreements (CEA)? A1: Community Engagement Agreements support CTPP-funded projects in completing approved SOW activities CEAs can help CTPP funded projects engage otherwise hard-to-reach communities, and the funding allows agencies that may be new to tobacco prevention to explore creative ideas that advance local policy campaigns and community engagement work Utilizing CEAs can simplify the opportunity to engage with partners who may be less familiar with tobacco related work, can help build buy-in and familiarity with tobacco-related issues and can establish organizational relationships that can ultimately lead to increased authentic community engagement Q2: Is a CEA a small grant? A2: Yes A CEA is a type of subcontract (the agreement is between the prime agency funded by CTPP and a third party) to perform a component of the prime agency’s SOW approved by CTPP Q3: Must CEAs be selected through a competitive bidding process? A3: No However, there are considerations for not

The tobacco industry has worked hard to be a part of Black communities. Tobacco companies support Black organizations, sponsor

events, and spend millions of dollars on advertising in Black neighborhoods. For example: • There are more ads for cheap tobacco in Black neighborhoods. 1 • The average prices for the cheapest packs of cigarettes and single cigars are lower in Black Communities. 1 As a result, tobacco addiction has had a devastating impact on Black people in the U.S. Black men have the highest rates

WHAT’S THE ISSUE? Big Tobacco spends millions every year to keep people hooked on their harmful products. One of their most successful predatory tactics is giving away tobacco products with massive discounts at practically no cost. These discounts are advertised more often to people with low incomes and neighborhoods made up of BIPOC communities, making it easier for people to start using tobacco, especially youth.

Tehama County Residents Deserve to Have Healthy & Smokefree Homes

EVERYONE DESERVES TO HAVE HEALTHY, SMOKEFREE HEALTHCARE!

A smokefree healthcare facility is a win for everybody! Your health care center works hard to promote wellness in Amador County. Clients visit your site for health and social services. When your facility is smokefree you: » Reduce secondhand smoke exposure for everyone. » Reduce smoking-related healthcare costs. » Reduce toxic tobacco litter and cleaning costs. » Decrease the risk of accidental fire. » Decrease employee absences due to smoking related illnesses. When your agency adopts a smokefree policy, you lead the way to healthier lifestyle choices.

What’s the Issue? Communities Energized for Health (CEH) spoke with residents living in Tehama County about their experience with secondhand smoke. Here’s what we found:

been bothered by secondhand smoke in their home.

THIS PROPERTY IS SMOKE-FREE

The goal is to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke. Because secondhand smoke can enter your facility through vents, electrical outlets, windows, and even tiny cracks in the walls, the only way to ensure the safety of your patients and staff is by adopting a 100% smokefree healthcare facility policy. A smokefree policy does not require staff or patients to stop smoking if they don’t want to quit. It simply restricts where smoking is allowed. When you make your care facility smokefree, you create a healthier environment.

99% of Tehama County residents support a comprehensive smokefree multiunit housing policy.
