New York Cracks Down on Disposable Flavored E-Cigarette Sales
NYC Mayor Eric Adams filed a lawsuit against Price Point Distributors for selling flavored e-cigarettes, aiming to stop sales and seek compensation.

According to a report by the New York Post on November 7th, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Thursday (7th) that the city is suing a distributor of disposable flavored e-cigarettes. The lawsuit is targeting Price Point Distributors, based in Long Island, with the aim of preventing further sales and seeking unspecified economic damages and penalties.

 

The Adams administration stated that: "Price Point has been pushing nicotine on our children out of greed for too long, and today we will not be doing that anymore."

 

"When they continue to harm our children, we will not stand idly by. We will not tolerate this level of crime and chaos, including the illegal sale of drugs, e-cigarettes, and other illegal marijuana products."

 

Previously, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a law in 2020 banning the sale of flavored e-cigarette products in all five boroughs.

 

In July 2023, the Adams administration filed a federal lawsuit against four major distributors, and in April 2024 announced a second lawsuit against 11 e-cigarette distributors. Both cases are currently pending.

 

The National Youth Tobacco Survey reveals that over 2.5 million middle and high school students in the United States have used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. A follow-up survey conducted by the organization a year later found that flavored e-cigarettes remain the "most popular product" among youth.
