Wants to have discussion at a future date <br /> about the devices (e.g., juul) that are raising concerns based on recent data showing that <br /> there are youth risks related to addiction and withdrawal related to high nicotine. Flavored <br /> products are not allowed. Not sure what products are being used? Get someone to discuss <br /> with the BOH the implications of this trend. Sexton noted that he could get someone in to <br /> provide the update on this topic and have discussion about policies or other things the BOH <br /> should be considering. <br /> Shonkoff noted that she had some contact in North Reading. Sexton indicated that in his <br /> role as liaison to RCASA he would like to research this more and thanks Shonkoff for her <br /> input. <br /> 4W Health Agent Report <br /> Food Ins- 38 (insp & reinsp) * Animal Complaints - 5 * Dumpster Issues - 2 (corrected) <br /> Page I 1 <br />
