New York State Implements Tough New Public Health Law to Curb Tobacco Sales and Save Lives

Governor Kathy Hohcul yesterday signed a new public health law that cracks down on tobacco sales in New York State.

The legislation seeks to make cigarettes and tobacco products less accessible by prohibiting their sale at stands, vending machines and in buildings in New York state.

Tobacco causes the death of more than 480 thousand people every year.
