A recent Cornell study suggests that warning labels that describe health harms of chemicals may encourage quitting for adult e-cigarette users but not necessarily for young users.
Two e-cigarette related deaths were reported in New York state in 2019. Lawmakers consider changes in legislating, including banning flavored Juul products, as Collegetown store managers react.
A New York appellate court halted Governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D-N.Y.) ban on flavored e-cigarettes on Thursday, temporarily enjoining its enforcement. The ban, originally scheduled to take effect on Oct. 4, is now paused until the New York State Supreme Court hands down a decision.
Dear Juul Labs,
Oh no! Your cool, sleek, highly addictive flash drive of fun has gotten a generation hooked on nicotine and one step closer to death. And now everyone, including Walmart, the President, New York State and China, is sick of your shit. Who would have thought? Certainly not you, who launched the Juul with a “patently youth-oriented” campaign with young models and influencers in a social media frenzy.
In Fall 2018, 25 percent of Cornell undergraduates reported using e-cigarettes in their lifetime, up from 14 percent in the Fall of 2015, according to Cornell Health. Additionally, 10 percent of all first year students in Fall 2018 reported using an e-cigarette in the two weeks leading up to move-in.
