Mayor Jerk –
SEPT. 26, 2019 – Instead of following the research that vaping is a harm reduction strategy with public health benefits, the governor claimed in a statement that, “New York is not waiting for the federal government to act, 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.”
He even went so far as to recommend increasing enforcement by including the “possibility of criminal penalties” for retailers. We already know how this plays out, as the Iron Law of Prohibition dictates: It will create an underground market that will make vaping supplies less regulated and more dangerous.
