New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing pushback – even from her own party – over her proposal to prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products in the state.
New York State Assembly
Sayegh is not the only one moving to criticize Hochul's proposal, which has faced opposition on a number of fronts. Others are pointing out the fact that flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes, could be sold on the black market., Guy Bentley, the director of Consumer Freedom, warned of economic consequences of the proposal and said,"Banning menthol cigarettes would put rocket boosters under the illicit tobacco market and reduce state revenues.
New York Assemblyman Kenny Burgos, D-Bronx, said he also believes"it wouldn't be wise to outright ban" hookah businesses that were provided a license to operate by the New York government. "I’m glad Gov. Hochul is taking up the cause. This tobacco ban is on the NAACP’s legislative agenda," Dukes told the Post following Hochul's introduction of the proposal in her State of the State address last month.
