Fans of mango, creme brulee, cotton candy, and hundreds of other flavored e-cigarettes are now out of luck in the Empire State, as the nation\u2019s first statewide flavored vape juice ban was added to local law.<\/p>\n

According to the <\/u>New York Post<\/em><\/u><\/a>, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an emergency executive action Monday afternoon to put the kibosh on flavored nicotine vape products. This was a direct response to the rash of vape-related illness<\/u><\/a> that has hospitalized hundreds and killed at least 7, as well as reports of increased underage consumption of e-cig products like Juul.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York is not waiting for the federal government to act,” Gov. Cuomo said in a statement<\/u><\/a>, “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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The flavored e-cigarette ban will cover all e-juice products made to taste like anything other than tobacco or nicotine, and will be in effect for 90 days. During that period, Cuomo said that he hopes the state legislature will take up the issue and institute the ban permanently.<\/p>\n
