according to the CDC in 2017 this is for all Americans nationwide but you can take a sampling in New
Hampshire and Nashua as well but 40.8% of Americans who said that they smoked daily or some days
are age 25 years or older. So you are not losing a lot of customers or market base, it’s only like 12%
but you are still retaining a majority of the people who may buy or use tobacco products in America.
And as a member of our youth | am really concerned about protecting our health because we are the
future and we might be sitting in the same seats that you are all sitting in today. And if we don’t protect
the health of our youth as nicotine is a very addictive drug, it has been compared to levels of cocaine
and heroin and as we are dealing with opioid crisis, New Hampshire and even Massachusetts in this
day and age, | think tobacco might be put to that level if we don’t pass this ordinance. Thank you.
