Thank you, @GovKathyHochul , for cracking down on illegal vapes.
These products have no place in our communities.
Holding bad actors accountable sends a clear message across New York.
Strong enforcement like this makes a real difference.
Illegal vapes can cause serious damage to people’s health.
New York is sending a message to anyone who tries to sell these products: You will be caught and prosecuted.

One of the few revenue raisers included in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s budget proposal this year is a new tax on nicotine products that don’t contain tobacco. But opponents of the tax are trying to convince lawmakers to reject it, citing health outcomes and state spending.

@HealthNYGov Commish told @poozer87 last week that underage vaping is "the fire that's burning." NYACS believes the state has the tools in hand to start enforcing illegal sales. Let's work together to prioritize this.
Congrats to @RichAzzopardi and Bulldog Strategies for being chosen as one of the top PR firms in the state.
NYACS is a proud client.

Yesterday, NYACS stood with Assemblywoman @SolagesNY and members of the Elmont, NY community - including parents and clergy - to call on @GovKathyHochul to start enforcing the flavored e-vape ban. These products are being targeted to kids and sold illegally.
This is exactly why we asked @SenSchumer today to prioritize border enforcement and to put an end to the illicit sale of these illegal flavored disposable vapes. Should be coordinated with @GovKathyHochul
Educate and Enforce!

Per the @CDCgov 9 out of 10 underage vapers choose flavored products like Rainbow Candy, Blue Cotton Candy, Blue Raspberry Slushy, Gummy Bear, and Magic Cotton Grape Ice - ALL BANNED PRODUCTS!
@SenSchumer@POTUS Why would you support a flavor ban for cigarettes and cigars when the current ban on flavored disposable vapes is a complete failure?
Oh hi! Legal tobacco retailers over here and we're looking for help in removing illegal flavored disposable vapes from stores that sell to kids. It's time this state gets serious on enforcement across the board. @bradhoylman@LizKrueger@GovKathyHochul
We are sure the cherry limeade “Punch Gummies” won't attract the kids.
Just another example of the state's pathetic enforcement record.
More bans and taxes will probably do the trick!
