NEW YORK — Vape shops in New York are scrambling to respond to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to prohibit the sale of flavored vaping products — a ban poised to take effect Tuesday.
Cuomo, a Democrat, proposed the ban on Sunday. The emergency regulation will take effect immediately if approved as expected Tuesday by the state’s Public Health and Health Planning Council.
