Market & regulatory data for the vapour sector in New York

31st May 2023: US - New York: Kent Sopris, president of the New York Association of Convenience Stores, has published an opinion piece about stopping teen vaping. He emphasises that history shows that prohibiting products only pushes them into the black market, and that a way of incentivising those markets is by creating legislation without proper enforcement strategies. He suggests that the money recently awarded to New York in the settlement with Juul should be used by state leaders "to protect children from the dangers of illegal disposable vapor products in kid-friendly flavors".
19th April 2023: US - New York: Senate Bill S6395 has been introduced. The bill would prohibit the operation of any vending machine that dispenses tobacco products within 350 ft from a building that operates exclusively as a school or as a church, synagogue or other place of worship.
31st March 2023: US - New York: Bill A 5994 has just been introduced. This bill prohibits misrepresenting any facts about the health consequences of using e-cigarettes, and provides related penalties. It would also further prohibit e-cigarette promotion.
17th March 2023: US - New York: The New York State Senate and New York State Assembly have rejected governor Kathy Hochul’s proposal to ban sales of flavoured tobacco products, which would have included menthol cigarettes, media reports. The proposal was first introduced in February as part of the governor’s 2023-2024 fiscal year budget. Hochul’s proposal was opposed by the State Assembly and State Senate, but both groups did agree to raise cigarette taxes from $4.35 to $5.35, making New York the state with the highest tax for cigarettes. The tax would also apply to heated tobacco products. A final budget deal is expected by 1st April.
3rd March 2023: US - New York: State Assembly bill A 4932 has been introduced. This bill would prohibit the sale of any vapour or tobacco products containing the substance N-Ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide, which creates a cooling sensation similar to menthol.
9th February 2023: US - New York: Senate Bill S4399 has been introduced, which would ban all retailing of flavoured nicotine vapour products.
7th February 2023: US - New York: Governor Kathy Hochul has been criticised by state Democrats over the proposed statewide ban on tobacco and e-cigarette flavours, media reports. Critics say the proposed ban would be impractical to enforce and costly to state taxpayers. One said: “Small businesses in New York are at risk of being squeezed out by the proposed illegal tobacco regulations, which would only stimulate a larger underground market and encourage people to buy unregulated products.”
6th February 2023: US - New York: Bill A 2119 has been introduced, which proposes taxing e-cigarette cartridges at the same rate as tobacco products. Bill A 2187 has also been introduced, which would prohibit the sale or provision of any quantity of e-liquid used to refill an e-cigarette or cartridge.
1st February 2023: US - New York: Senate Bill S3356 has been introduced. This bill would require e-cigarettes and e-liquid products to be sold in separate specific locations where only consumers who are at least 21 years old are allowed to enter.
19th January 2023: US - New York: Senate Bill S2133 has been introduced. It would ban the sale of e-cigarettes that contain certain toxic metals, and require the state Department of Health to study the long-term health effects of vaping.
16th January 2023: US - New York: Many new bills have been introduced, including: Bill S 516 (prohibits the sale or provision of any quantity of e-liquid used to refill an e-cigarette or cartridge), Bill A 83 (prohibits the sale or distribution of e-cigarettes lacking a federal Food and Drug Administration premarket order of approval), Bill A 187 (relates to requiring a valid prescription in order to purchase, obtain or use an e-cigarette), and Bill A 143 (requires e-cigarettes and e-liquids to have nicotine levels which automatically taper off).
