New York AG sues popular vape brands for 'youth vaping epidemic,' violating flavor ban.

Flavored nicotine vapes have been illegal to sell in New York since 2020 .

Attorney General Letitia James accuses manufacturers and distributors of intentionally creating products, designs and marketing campaigns to attract young people.

This misguided action unfairly targets legitimate American businesses that employ thousands and contribute to local economies, said the statement.

The statement also accused the litigation and New York’s existing flavor ban of threatening to “dismantle an industry that provides jobs and innovative quitting tools for adults”.
