The pro-legal weed Hochul administration is quietly floating the idea of an outright ban on the sale of all tobacco products in New York, The Post has learned.
Hochul administration is quietly trying to fire up support for a complete ban on the sale of tobacco products in New York, The Post has learned.
“What is your opinion about a policy that would end the sale of all tobacco products in New York within 10 years?” were among the questions asked last week in the “New York Local Opinion Leaders Survey,” examined by the Post. The poll also solicited input on whether there’s backing for other tobacco-related measures, including capping the number of retailers who can sell “products in a community” and prohibiting its sales near schools.
Hochul’s own budget proposal noted banning flavored tobacco products would cost the state $133 million in lost tax revenues this fiscal year, which began April 1.It’s obvious the Health Department is “test marketing” potential new smoking policies and such surveys are typically funded by taxpayers but through private companies, think tanks, or political campaigns, an Albany insider said.
