It was the democratic governor Andrew Cuomo, who proposed an emergency ban on Sunday, which was voted through by the state departments of public health, 'Public Health' and 'Health Planning Council.
In the proposal, special attention was paid that the there is a large consumption of e-cigarettes among young people in the UNITED states. According to figures from the state health services department uses nearly 40 percent of students from the oldest grade level in high school e-cigarettes, while 27 percent of the students generally use them.
the Governor points out, in particular on products with the taste of bubble gum and cotton candy as being aimed directly at young people. Previously, he has introduced a law which sets the minimum age for purchase of tobacco products up to 21 years, while antiryge campaigns in the future must also involve e-cigarettes.
- We don't know what the health consequences of the products, he said Monday.
More critical of the fact that menthol products are not a part of the ban, and it will therefore be examined whether, this flavor should be added.
the Ban will expire about 90 days, unless it is renewed. Several other states are considering introducing a ban, while also president of Donald Trump has proposed a ban on the national level. The state of Michigan has adopted a ban, but it is not yet in force.

Several sellers of products to e-cigarettes have publicly opposed the ban, which they believe is imposed on a wrong basis. They also believe that the proposal should have gone through a process of consultation and vote before it was carried out, which is not the case.
A man by the name of Mike Kruger owns the two shops with e-cigarettes in the Albany region, and he believes that the ban may get several hundred companies such as his own to close.
Additionally, he believes that it gives cigarette smokers fewer alternatives, if they are looking for an opportunity to stop smoking.
E - cigarettes have been here for 12 years, and now it comes here, he says to AP.
He does not believe that products with taste is the problem, and he points instead to the illegal items from the black market. Many adults are also looking to products with the taste, and they are not just for young people, he says.
Although he prefers the taste by the name of 'blue raspberry'.
