New York State Cracks Down on Illegal Online Vape Sales

New York State authorities led a crackdown named "Operation Vapers’ Dozen" targeting online vape sellers, resulting in 12 arrests and 38 charges for violating vape laws. The businesses faced charges for selling vapor products unlawfully. The state had banned flavored vapes and all online vape sales in 2020. Governor Kathy Hochul expressed holding these companies accountable for targeting youth. The state has been strict on vaping, with Democrats like Gov. Hochul and former Gov. Cuomo supporting anti-vaping policies. New York City Mayor Eric Adams also launched actions against vape distributors. Online vape sales are restricted in several U.S. states, including Arkansas, Hawaii, and Utah.
