NYC pol wants to ban disposable vapes in latest e-cig crackdown

Council member Menin of Manhattan is proposing a bill to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes, aiming to combat underage vaping. The move follows a ban on flavored vapes in 2020 and aims to prevent health risks associated with nicotine use among minors. Violators of the potential ban would face fines. Current lawsuits target distributors of colorful candy-flavored vapes, reflecting ongoing efforts to address teenage e-cigarette use. Data shows high usage rates among New York City students, highlighting the need for stricter regulations. Menin emphasizes the importance of safeguarding youth from nicotine exposure.
