Vaping illnesses: Cuomo bans flavored e-cigarettes amid vape crackdown

Albany BureauALBANY - Gov. Andrew Cuomo is banning the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes in New York through an emergency executive action.Cuomo announced the executive action Sunday, citing state health officials’ efforts to curb the increasing number of young people using vape products. He also accused e-cigarette makers of marketing flavors that are intended to get children addicted to nicotine.

New York lawmakers earlier this year raised the age to buy tobacco and e-cigarette products to 21 from 18, effective Nov. 13. And there will be a renewed focus on the raised age as part of upcoming enforcement efforts, which enlist underage youth to attempt to buy tobacco and e-cigarette products, Cuomo said.

Earlier this month, federal and state researchers said they believed the vaping illnesses are connected to a vitamin E acetate found in some illicit cannabis vaping products. They've warned people against vaping nicotine or marijuana until a cause is determined. "That tobacco, cigarettes and now these vaping e-cigarettes, it's still nicotine. And nicotine is what's addictive. Even putting aside the other products that might be added - THC, Vitamin E - the nicotine in and of itself is the addictive drug and that is what they are selling," Cuomo said.

Where is this ok?

Cuomo bans flavored vaping because it's 'dangerous' ..... But cigarettes? Just fine.

Camel cigarettes have flavors 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ You gonna take their flavors away. Kids love that too. They also love flavored vodka and tons of wine coolers. Bad ppl buy it for kids and make a side profit. You need to talk with teens.

So the ar15s are ok? Huh?

What about my Marlboro Smooth cigarettes, that literally smell like peppermint patties?

I'm going to leave these right here

Well there are studies that show a ban of vaping would cause that many youngsters switch to cigarettes. Nice for the tobacco industry and to collect taxes, but it does not improve the health risk for that group. Instead the age for smoking in general should be set to 21 years.

This banning of vaping products is getting out of hand. I'm 28 years old. Started smoking cigs, sadly, at 15. Smoked one pack a day until summer of 2015 when I decided to get clean off of heroin, I also decided to stop smoking cigarettes. I started vaping and never smoked again!

Politicians wouldn’t take on pharma and painkillers, but now they pretend to give a shit by taking on vaping.

How about you don’t smoke anything

Lol nanny state BrotherFredo

Yeah, no. This is all fear mongering to give the government more power and to piss off citizens.
