E-cigarette Policy: In In Schools & Other Spaces

City law prohibits e-cigarettes use in all places where smoking is prohibited, including residential common areas, restaurants, sports arenas, and other workplaces and schools since 2014. The NYC Public School Code of Conduct has been updated to state that “possession and/or use of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, matches, lighters, and/or vaping devices” is considered disorderly behavior

E-cigarette Policy: New License

Why?

Since 2013, Tobacco 21 has banned e-

cigarettes sales to persons under 21

Without a license, enforcement gaps

persist How?

Create a new e-cigarette license with

community district caps

Pharmacies cannot get a license
