A 671 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to requiring a valid prescription in order to purchase, obtain or use an electronic cigarette; repealer

This bill would require a prescription from a licensed physician for anyone over 18 to purchase, obtain, or use an e-cigarette. It would make e-cigarettes available only through licensed pharmacies and prohibit sales without a valid prescription. The law directly affects adult e-cigarette users who currently do not need a prescription, while maintaining existing age restrictions (21+) for purchasing nicotine products. It repeals previous provisions about e-cigarette sales and updates related sections of public health law.
