New York Seeks Legislation to Eliminate Underage E-cigarette Usage
New York state legislators seek to ban e-cigarette sales to minors, with penalties up to $2500 for repeat violations.

According to Spectrum Local News on March 11th, the state of New York in the United States is seeking legislation to eliminate the phenomenon of minors using e-cigarettes.

 

The bill was introduced by Democratic Senator Monica Martinez from Long Island. She stated that the number of middle school students aged 11 to 14 who are vaping e-cigarettes is on the rise.

 

In the school environment, these products may inadvertently normalize smoking and tell our children that smoking is acceptable, when in fact it is not. This poses a serious challenge to their health and maintaining a healthy, safe, and conducive learning environment, which is what our school environment should be like.

 

The new legislation will prohibit the sale of e-cigarette products that resemble school supplies, toys, or are packaged in a way that appeals to minors. A first-time violation of the regulation will result in a fine of up to $1500, with subsequent violations carrying a $2500 fine each.

 

Congressman Charles Fall supports the bill.

Special Report｜From CrossBar 20K to 6-Methyl Nicotine KUMI: Two Routes Into U.S. State Vape Directories?
Several U.S. states have incorporated the September 9, 2020 PMTA filing deadline into eligibility rules for certain vaping products. CrossBar 20K drew attention after appearing on Pennsylvania's 163-entry directory. A broader 2Firsts investigation found that related registration businesses also listed KUMI and CROSSBAR SIX products, with 171 KUMI-related entries across Louisiana, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Corporate records link Scott Silverman to Blue Nine LLC and VR Products I LLC. PMTA compliance expert Mr. K said historical applications and nicotine-analogue products may offer two different approaches to state-directory access.

US ITC Judge Finds Glas Infringed Two JUUL Vape Patents, Recommends Restrictions on Related Imports——Glas Received FDA Marketing Authorization for Four Vape Pods in May 2026; Proposed Restrictions Remain Under Commission Review
US ITC Judge Finds Glas Infringed Two JUUL Vape Patents, Recommends Restrictions on Related Imports——Glas Received FDA Marketing Authorization for Four Vape Pods in May 2026; Proposed Restrictions Remain Under Commission Review
A U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) administrative law judge issued an initial determination on October 20, 2026, finding that certain Glas vaping devices, cartridges and components infringed 12 claims across two patents asserted by JUUL, constituting a violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The judge recommended a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against the Glas respondents. Five months earlier, the FDA authorized four Glas e-cigarette pods, including mango, blueberry and two menthol variants. The patent investigation concerns device and cartridge structures and is separate from FDA premarket review. The proposed import restrictions have not become final, and their product-level scope remains unresolved.

Special Report｜Japan Tobacco Buys CLEW: Can Its 160,000-Store Cigarette Network Help It Vie for U.S. Nicotine Pouch Share Against PMI and BAT?
Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) announced on November 12, 2026, that it had acquired the U.S. assets of nicotine pouch brand CLEW from Nevcore Innovations Inc., including trademarks, intellectual property, product formulations and a Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA). CLEW, currently distributed through selected outlets in 13 U.S. states, will immediately join the JTI LIGGETT portfolio. The transaction follows JT's approximately $2.4 billion acquisition of U.S. cigarette maker Vector Group in 2024. JTI LIGGETT says its existing cigarette brands reach more than 160,000 U.S. retail stores. During the 2026 NACS Show in October, JTI LIGGETT booth staff told 2Firsts that the company had not yet launched nicotine pouches in the United States. Although Nevcore previously announced FDA acceptance of CLEW's PMTA, the brand is absent from the agency's current list of authorized nicotine pouch products. JT has not disclosed a retail expansion plan for CLEW.
