New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to introduce legislation to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products. This will apply to menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars and cigarillos, and flavored smokeless tobacco.

The proposed ban expands the State’s current ban on selling flavored vaping products. According to New York’s Health Department, if passed and signed into law, New York would be the third state to do so.
