DATED this 30th Day of June 2003 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners. ATTEST: Recording Secretary De nis R. Luke, Chair To Delolf, Comm' inner Michael M. Daly, Commissioner Attachment Exhibit A: Presentation Documents on the "Protect Deschutes County Children" Project (regarding restricting youth's access to tobacco products) Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 30, 2003 Page 7 of 7 Pages We, the students from Pilot Butte Middle -School Natural Helpers group, with the help of the Deschutes County Prevention Office, conducted a yearlong project to determine where stores keep their tobacco products and where they place advertisements. We conducted a survey in 72 stores in Bend, LaPine, Sisters and Redmond. Students from Hugh Hartman Middle School conducted the Redmond store surveys. We began this project after learning that most grocery stores without vendor -assisted sales report that cigarettes are the item most often shoplifted. In one study it was reported that almost half of all teenage smokers have admitted to stealing cigarettes. Another study reported that 10% of teenagers questioned admitted that shoplifting was their main method of obtaining cigarettes. After looking at our survey results and researching state and nationwide statistics on the accessibility of tobacco products to teens, we decided to present our findings to local governments in the hope of creating an ordinance to limit the access of tobacco products to teens in Deschutes County. 20 kids start smoking every day in Oregon. Current statistics state that: 13% of 8th graders and 28% of 11th graders in our county smoke. As of 6/26/03 we have presented our findings to 9 groups and health organizations and have received immediate endorsement from every group we have spoken to concerning our plans to present an ordinance. We have received a total of 30 endorsements form groups and individuals who have heard about or project and support what we are doing. Our project goal is to present an ordinance to area city councils and the Deschutes County Commission that would require vendor- assisted sales in order to limit tobacco access to teens. Vendor -assisted means that the customers don't touch the tobacco Exhibit Page _� of until the cashier hands it to them from behind a counter or from a locked case after it has been purchased by the customer. Our survey determined whether retail outlet was a (A) gas station only, (B)gas station & convenience store, (C) convenience store with no gas, (D) small market, (E) supermarket of grocery store, or (F) department of variety store. Our survey asked if tobacco products are kept locked up or behind the counter with only clerk -assisted sales. Our survey also looked at the location of tobacco logos and their proximity to children's products, as well as whether or not the retail outlet sold tobacco look-alike products. Another survey question looked at tobacco advertisement placed below 36 inches from the floor and if tobacco advertisement was placed outside the retail outlet. Our survey results are as follows: 31 stores we surveyed were gas station/convenience stores. 11 were convenience stores with no gas. 10 were small markets. 14 were super market/grocery stores.I store was a drugstore/pharmacy. 5 were department/variety stores. 50 stores of the 72 surveyed kept their tobacco products locked up or behind the counter. 6 kept some products locked up and/or some products behind counters. 16 did not keep their tobacco products locked up or behind counters. 31% of the stores that were surveyed were allowing uncontrolled access to their tobacco or tobacco products. 57 stores did not place tobacco logos on or near children's products, yet 15 stores placed logos near children's products. Exhibit 14 Page 2- of g 27 stores did not sell tobacco look-alike products but 45 stores did sell tobacco look-alike candy or gum. 44 out of 72 stores places tobacco ads below 36" from the floor. 34 out of 72 stores placed tobacco advertisements outside their stores. Probably the most important finding from our efforts was that 31% of the stores surveyed in Deschutes County had some tobacco products that were not locked up or safely behind counters. It is because of this finding that we are asking you to consider our request to require vendor -assisted sales of tobacco products in Deschutes County in order to limit the access of tobacco and tobacco products to teens. It is time for the communities of Deschutes County to join with 18 other communities in Oregon that require vendor -assisted sales of tobacco and tobacco products. Thank -you for your time and consideration.
