S 5108 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the sale of tobacco products and vapor products within five hundred feet of a public or private school

This bill prohibits the sale of tobacco and vapor products within 500 feet of any public or private school property. It directly affects retailers selling these products near schools and aims to protect students by restricting access near school grounds. The law defines the 500-foot limit as a straight-line measurement from the school’s property boundary to the business’s property boundary. Violations are enforced under existing health law procedures, allowing anyone to report noncompliance to authorities.
