VAPING NEWS: NEW YORK [Flavor Ban Renewed]

“New York officials are working on multiple fronts to push through a flavored e-cigarette ban after vaping advocates won a preliminary injunction to stop its enforcement last month. On Thursday, state health officials voted to renew the emergency 90-day ban that acting Supreme Court Justice Catherine Cholakis struck down in January, acknowledging they’re currently unable to enforce it but expressing hope that an appeal of her decision will be successful. The Attorney General’s office filed a notice of its intent to appeal in court filings late last week. The ban the state is pursuing would apply to the sale of all flavors of e-liquids except tobacco and menthol. While the state works to impose a ban using regulatory mechanisms, state lawmakers are also working to enshrine one into state law.”
