Thank you for the opportunity to submit testimony in strong support of Bill 302. 1 strongly support prohibiting the use of
Electronic Smoking Devices in places open to the public and places of employment.
Electronic smoking devices are currently unregulated and emit unregulated levels of chemicals into the air. Evidence is
clear that electronic smoking devices do not just emit harmless water vapor, but a harmful aerosol that contains
nicotine, ultra -fine particles and toxins known to cause cancer. I urge you to pass Bill 302 in order to provide protection
for the public. Failing to act may set us back decades.
