New York state has banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes amid growing national concern about the safety of the products.
The ban went into effect after being approved by the state's Public Health and Health Planning Council Tuesday afternoon.
This comes days after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an emergency executive order banning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. "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," he added.
