TOBACCO HARM REDUCTION 101: NEW HAMPSHIRE

Key Points: 

• New Hampshire’s vaping industry provided more than $77 million in economic activity in 2018 while generating 360 direct vaping-related jobs. Sales of disposables and prefilled cartridges in New Hampshire exceeded $6.1 million in 2016.

• As of October 7, 2019, NHPHS has reported one case of vaping-related lung illness, noting other state health departments finding patients vaping THC prior to illness. NHPHS earns a D for its reporting on vaping-related lung illnesses.

• In 2019, only 3.9 percent of New Hampshire high school students reported daily e-cigarette use. More data is needed.  

• Only 5 percent of FDA retail compliance checks in New Hampshire resulted in sales of e-cigarettes to minors from January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019.

• New Hampshire spends very little on tobacco prevention. In 2019, New Hampshire dedicated only $140,000 on tobacco control, or less than 1 percent of what the state received in tobacco settlement payments and taxes.
