VAPING NEWS: BETHLEHEM, NEW YORK [Retail Shops Public Hearing]

“The town of Bethlehem is looking to license tobacco retailers and ban the sale of vaping products within 1,000 feet from a  school as part of a broad new policy that would greatly reduce access to tobacco and especially vaping products in town over the coming years. The town board is holding a virtual public hearing on the proposed new law on Wednesday night. Due to the fact that in-person town board meetings are banned due to the coronavirus pandemic, residents can register for a Zoom meeting that the town has set up for people to comment at the public hearing, which will also include a proposal to extend the ban on new vape shops in town until the end of the year so that the new law can be implemented. Residents can also submit comments by email. The state is implementing a new ban on flavored vaping products starting in July, so tobacco retailers are already having to pare back on their vaping sales.”
