VAPING NEWS: NEW YORK [Flavor Ban]

“Governor Andrew Cuomo is once again pressing for a ban on flavored tobacco-based vaping products, saying he hopes a law is passed in the next month. Cuomo and his health commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker, tried to ban the products in New York last fall, but the emergency order by a state panel was stopped in court, after the vaping industry sued. Now Cuomo has proposed a ban, along with comprehensive regulations, in his budget plan. The measure would end the sale of all flavored electronic cigarettes, including menthol, and discontinue all advertisements, including social media ads that Cuomo says are targeted toward teens. The bill also bans the sale of vaping products at stores that include pharmacies, as well as online sales.”
