According to PIX11 reports on July 18, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that during the "Lock It Up" protection initiative, more than 600 illegal e-cigarette shops in the city have been closed.
Many of these stores have already closed. We will continue to work towards closing down these stores.
On Wednesday, authorities sealed off a deli in Throggs Neck after discovering illegal products. The seized products were valued at approximately $1 million and nine people were arrested.
Adams stated that some products are marketed specifically for children.
Adams said that these illegal products likely come from a well-organized, chain-store-like distributor.
They not only supply locally, but they may have distribution throughout the entire state.
New York City Police Chief Anthony Miranda stated that the community played a "key role" in shutting down illegal businesses.
They are often the first to come into contact and know about illegal shops... when these shops are operating or opening.
