NY e-cig flavor ban ‘tricky’: reduces appeal to teens, could lead to more cigarette use

September 18, 2019

The ban goes into effect immediately, and retailers have two weeks to remove merchandise from stores. Cornell University experts are available to speak about risky decision making in teens and how to protect teens without encouraging use of traditional cigarettes.
