New York Moves to Enact Statewide Flavored E-cig Ban

Associated Press

   NEW YORK - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is pushing to enact a statewide
   ban on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes amid growing health concerns
   connected to vaping, especially among young people.

   The Democrat announced Sunday that the state health commissioner would
   be making a recommendation this week to the state Public Health and
   Health Planning Council. The council can issue emergency regulations
   that would go into effect as soon as they are voted on and start being
   enforced in as soon as two weeks, following a short grace period for
   retailers, officials said.

   In announcing the action, Cuomo sharply criticized the flavors that are
   for sale, like bubble gum and cotton candy.

   "These are obviously targeted to young people and highly effective at
   targeting young people," he said.
