NYC files lawsuit against company allegedly illegally peddling flavored vapes to kids: ‘Will not sit idly by’

NYC is tackling vape peddlers targeting kids by suing Price Point Distributors Inc. The lawsuit aims to halt sales, recover damages, and deter illegal drug and vape distribution. Previous lawsuits have targeted distributors for the same offense, aligning with Mayor Adams' crackdown on harmful products. The DOE collaborates to educate students on vaping risks, with a focus on counseling and parent support. The surge in youth vaping, fueled by flavored products, shows the urgency in combating this public health threat.
