Owners of Long Island shops that sell Juul, and other vaping products breathing a little easier.
A state appellate court has temporarily halted Governor Cuomo’s emergency order banning all flavored vape products, aside from menthol, until at least October 18th, when the parties are back in court.
Long Island smoke shop owners argue the ban threatens their businesses.
“We are very pleased with the New York State Appellate Division’s decision, which acknowledges the strength of our claims about the state’s executive overreach,” said Tony Abboud, of the Vapor Technology Association.
State officials promise to press on and defend the ban on flavored vape products which they claim are marketed toward children.
