A chief New York State law enforcement group wants to stamp out Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to ban menthol cigarettes and other flavored tobacco, as well raising the tax on smokes by $1.
The law enforcement group claimed Hochul’s ban would only lead to more cigarettes getting smuggled into the state.a double standard — proposing a ban on flavored tobacco while allowing sales of flavor-infused and fruity-scented marijuana merch. New York bans the sale of flavored vaping products.
The Sheriffs’ letter urged Hochul to scrap the proposed ban — and to work with law enforcement “to develop targeted strategies to combat the existing illicit tobacco trade” that “undermines public health policy by trafficking cheap and unregulated tobacco” to New York and its youngsters., a Buffalo Democrat, and a group of black ministers also oppose the ban, preferring an educational stop-smoking campaign.
The proposed ban is projected to cut the number of young people smoking by 9%, preventing 22,000 kids from becoming adult smokers, and curbing premature deaths. While the proposal aims to reduce the use of the products, it wouldn’t make it illegal to possess, purchase, or use flavored tobacco products, but instead target retailers who sell them, Hochul aides said.
