year and 2.3 million women worldwide and

73
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:37,680
whereas about 30% of early stage breast

74
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,600
cancers eventually metastasize spread to

75
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,600
parts of the body away from the breast

76
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,640
and there is a need for more research

77
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,360
about Med metatastic

78
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,760

common form of cancer diagnosed among

82
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,920
women and the second highest cause of

83
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,880

00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040
breast cancer as well and whereas

86
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,279
regular breast self- exams and annual

87
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,040
medical exam and mammograms are

88
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,760
important Tools in breast cancer

90
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:15,279
when cancers may be more treatable and

91
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,640
whereas me mamography an x-ray of the

92
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,200
human breast is recognized as the single

93
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,360
most effective method of detecting

94
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,839
breast changes that may be cancerous

95
00:10:24,839 --> 00:10:26,640
long before physical symptoms can be

96
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,040
seen or felt and whereas in May

I'm a little bit

189
00:14:40,519 --> 00:14:44,839
nervous but it's important that on Kings

190
00:14:44,839 --> 00:14:47,199
Road there's been some things and I know

191
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:48,160
this is

192
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,880
about you know about Union Street but if

193
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:51,959
there was another

194
00:14:51,959 --> 00:14:55,160
egress for you for the people going down

195
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Kings Road there would be no speeding

196
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,759
problem I said that to the president at city council I texted her

197
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:02,360
and I told her that so I wanted to say

198
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,600
that and Mr parley lived over woodl for

199
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,920
some time he knows what I'm saying so

200
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,959
it's not woodon it's not you know Union

201
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:13,440
Street it's bellw it's the starcade

202
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,880

00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,519
say that it's a good idea and next year

204
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:19,920

action thank you thank

you I have now no one else signed up to

207
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,279
speak so I declared the public comment

208
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,000
on the legislative agenda

209
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,160

210
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,230

00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,600

00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:10,150
you

214
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,319
to provide information on how the number

215
00:16:12,319 --> 00:16:13,920
and location of tobacco retailers

216
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,720
matters to Community Health in August I

217
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,279
spoke about the disproportionate

218
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:19,800
presence of tobacco retailers in

219
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,800
low-income neighborhoods with Hamilton

220
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Hill having more than five times the

221
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,040
tobacco retailers per capita as nkuna in

222
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,920
September my colleague presented on the

223
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,680
fact that low in communities have a

224
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,399
higher proportion of tobacco retailers

225
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:34,880
located near schools increasing youth

226
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,720
exposure to Tobacco marketing and

227
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,319
promotion and increasing the likelihood

228
00:16:39,319 --> 00:16:42,880
of tobacco use among youth in October I

229
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,000
spoke about the importance of

230
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,800
considering all retailers that sell

231
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,839
tobacco and vape shops in the city not

232
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:50,319
just vape and smoke shops that primarily

233
00:16:50,319 --> 00:16:53,199
sell these products today I bring you

234
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:55,000
preliminary data gathered in the city of

235
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240
SKC that supports the fact that the

236
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,519
location and density of all licensed

237
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,480
tobacco retailers including convenience

238
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,079
stores gas stations discount and grocery

239
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,439
stores influence young people to start

240
00:17:06,439 --> 00:17:08,720
and hinder young adults who want to quit

241
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,559
from

242
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:12,679
quitting our team just completed visits

243
00:17:12,679 --> 00:17:15,199
to 31 licensed tobacco retailers located

244
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:18,240
within 1500 ft of one or more schools

245
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,000
and the highest poverty ZIP codes in the

246
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
city of

247
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,839
sken we observed an alarming number of

248
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,400
violations of state law 16 were related

249
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,480
to the sale of flavor Vapes containing

250
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,039
nicotine which was banned by state law

251
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:36,240
in um last year and then 19 related to

252
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,080
the display of exterior tobacco ads

253
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,400
which are also banned by state law

254
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,120
within a th000 feet of schools all have

255
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,160
been or 1500 feet of schools I'm sorry

256
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,799
all have been reported to the concy

257
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,440
County Public Health

258
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,919
Services we also observed an alarming

259
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:52,440
amount of marketing and promotion that

260
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,600
were perfectly legal legal legal but not

261
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,480
necessarily good and actually not good

262
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,320
for Public Health and we observe tobacco

263
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,480
displays that take up one half or more

264
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,600
of the space behind the checkout counter

265
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,480
in 75% of the stores we visited and

266
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,919
that's important because everybody has

267
00:18:08,919 --> 00:18:11,120
to come to the checkout and that's where

268
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:12,559
young people and people who are trying

269
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:15,200
to quit um have to go in order to check

270
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,480
out of the store we also observed

271
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,360
exterior and interior ads that were

272
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,200
disproportionately for flavored cigars

273
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,400
and cigaros which are increasingly

274
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,520
popular among high school students

275
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,360
particularly among African-American male

276
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:28,960
youth

277
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,720
we also observed that all the stores

278
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,240
almost all the stores sold flavored

279
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,400
cigars and cigaros in packages that sell

280
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,159
for $150 or less this leaves tobacco

281
00:18:39,159 --> 00:18:41,919
products that are all too affordable for

282
00:18:41,919 --> 00:18:44,039
young people and they're very sensitive

283
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:46,640
to price and that's very

284
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,679
affordable uh we're currently compiling

285
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:50,440
a document that will provide details and

286
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,760
photos of what we observed in the field

287
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,600
and at a future meeting we plan to take

288
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,520
you on a visual tour of that tobacco

289
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,400
marketing and promotion and what

290
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,240
actually looks like in the highest

291
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,600
poverty neighborhoods in the city of

292
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,240
skty and why it has such a profound

293
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,520
impact on the people who live there we

294
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,960
look forward to sharing our findings in

295
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,679
more detail and welcome the opportunity

296
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:11,600
to Dialogue on the various ways in which

297
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,240
other communities across the state and

298
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,919
the nation have been addressing the

299
00:19:14,919 --> 00:19:16,559
health inequities resulting from the

300
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:17,960
abundance of tobacco marketing and

301
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,280
promotion in lower income neighborhoods

302
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,440
thank you so much thank

303
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,230

SKC

308
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,400
um I would just like to follow up on the

309
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,480
last speaker because uh myself I smoked

310
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,480
four cigarettes my whole life long I

311
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,480
don't drink it anymore I haven't drank

312
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,440
five years um but cigarettes cigars all

313
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,960
these things are probably no good for

314
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,919
you I I smoke cigar every now and then

315
00:19:55,919 --> 00:19:58,840

what you think no matter how you do it

317
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,559
it's constitutional you can do this now

318
00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:05,159
I'm not saying that we should put out

319
00:20:05,159 --> 00:20:07,080
ads they put out ads for gambling at the

320
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,080
casino it's not the most healthiest

321
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,799

I'm down like just two pills and I've

345
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,200
told them for 25 years that I was being

346
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,200
overdosed not until I saw something by

347
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,559
Angel Santa Barbara when he held out a

348
00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:20,200

much better today I am so much better

351
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,200

00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240
epilepsy people neurological conditions

00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,200
get a little nervous odd things like

355
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,400
that but it is something that's major

356
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,039
not only in New York state but you know

357
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:40,279

want to again Echo thank everyone for

381
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,640
coming out to speak I think um some

382
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,760
information uh that we heard today was

383
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,080
uh pretty compelling that and you know I

384
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,279
urge uh my uh council members and the

385
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:51,360
broader Community to just think about

386
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:53,760
ways that we can um increase the

387
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,919
likelihood of having a healthy Community

388
00:22:55,919 --> 00:22:57,799
I for one and all I'm all about freedom

389
00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,360
of choice for people I also know that um

390
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,600
depending on the proximity um of

391
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,039
available things in your community that

392
00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:08,279
can increase your likelihood to make a

393
00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:10,679
unhealthy Choice by just mere proximity

394
00:23:10,679 --> 00:23:11,840
and we want to make sure that we're

395
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840
being mindful um that we are uh

396
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,000
designing um because city is in

397
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,880
continual in design more designing

398
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,559
Healthy Communities by uh increasing the

399
00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:24,840
likelihood of healthy choices and um

400
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,840
decreasing the likelihood of unhealthy

401
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,480
choices and any time you have a

402
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,600
community that it's easier to get um uh

403
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,000
tobacco product than is a Apple then

404
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
that's not really uh the type of

405
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,480
community that's not the setting

406
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,520
conditions for a healthy Community um

407
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,320
and with that respect understanding that

408
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,120
we all make unhealthy choices from time

409
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,520
to time because that is with our

410
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,559
prerogatives but um just being mindful

411
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:48,120
of the setting conditions for healthy

412
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:50,640
