New York became the second US state to ban flavored e-cigarettes Tuesday, following several vaping-linked deaths that have raised fears about a product long promoted as less harmful than smoking.

"New York is not waiting for the federal government to act, and by banning flavored e-cigarettes we are safeguarding the public health and helping prevent countless young people from forming costly, unhealthy and potentially deadly life-long habits," Cuomo added.Shops in New York now have two weeks to remove vaping products from their shelves. The ban does not prohibit menthol or tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes.

Their use among adolescents has skyrocketed in recent years: some 3.6 million middle and high school students used vaping products in 2018, an increase of 1.5 million on the year before. The CDC has cautioned against vaping as officials investigate the precise cause of the deaths. No single substance has been found to be present in all the laboratory samples being examined.

Good. I hate the smell and no man looks more pathetic than the one with balls of smoke trailing him.

Panyaza Lesufi slams new Afrikaans university: ‘Don’t remind us of apartheid’'I just hate racism when I see one! A race based institution in a non racial society won’t succeed. Please don’t remind us about apartheid.' Lesufi is a clown and extremely prejudiced. The university is NOT race based its open to ALL races This e what happens when you forgive unrepentant racists who never asked for forgiveness in the first place. They poke a finger in your face and show you their colors. Does it really matters what he thinks? He singlehandedly brought down education in Gauteng. He's building school in black townships but they still attend schools in areas that he doesn't support. Why's he getting airtime? They are allowed to build their institution of choice
