Crackdown on Illicit E-Cigarette Sales in Westchester County
According to a report from Hudson Valley Press on September 5th, the government of Westchester County, New York, is taking measures to combat illegal e-cigarette sales, particularly in light of the potential threat to underage individuals. In the past two months, the Westchester County Department of Health has strengthened its inspections of e-cigarette sales compliance, conducting over 70 checks across various licensed establishments in the county.
Recently, there was a major operation conducted in collaboration between the Westchester County Department of Health and the Greenburgh Narcotics and Alcohol Task Force. This operation is believed to be the largest crackdown on illegal e-cigarette sales in the history of the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA) project.
The special task force is comprised of police agencies from Ardsley, Greenburgh, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, and North Castle. The Westchester County government has confiscated all illegal e-cigarette products, which are being securely stored. The operators have been fined and are awaiting a hearing to determine their fate.
