WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids strongly supports Governor Kathy Hochul's proposals, included in her state budget today, to prohibit the sale of all flavored tobacco products in New York and increase the state's cigarette tax from $4.35 to $5.35 per pack. Gov. Hochul deserves enormous credit for proposing these bold policies to protect kids from tobacco addiction, advance health equity and save countless lives. These policies will continue New York's leadership in fighting tobacco use – the nation's number one cause of preventable death – and improve health and save lives in the state for generations to come. We urge the New York Legislature to approve these policies during this year's session.

Key Points: 
  • Hochul deserves enormous credit for proposing these bold policies to protect kids from tobacco addiction, advance health equity and save countless lives.
  • Hochul's plan would expand the state's current prohibition on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes by ending the sale of all flavored tobacco products.
  • This is a critically important proposal to stop the tobacco industry's predatory targeting of kids, Black Americans and other groups with flavored products, including menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
  • The evidence is clear that raising the price of tobacco products is one of the most effective ways to reduce tobacco use, especially among kids.
