New York Becomes First State To Officially Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes

New York State has proposed an emergency ban on flavored E-cigarettes, excluding menthol and tobacco flavors, to address public health concerns. The ban, effective immediately, gives retailers two weeks to comply, with penalties for violations. Vape shop owners oppose the ban, citing economic impacts and arguing that manufacturers should be accountable. The state plans aggressive enforcement, including undercover operations. Similar actions are being considered in Michigan and California, while the Trump administration aims to block non-tobacco flavored vaping products. The CDC reports 380 vaping-related illnesses and 7 deaths in the US.

What is the duration of the emergency regulation proposed by Cuomo regarding flavored e-cigarettes?
