| Description | Mayor Michael Bloomberg is seeking to regulate tobacco-less electronic cigarettes, three tobacco-related bills submitted to the New York City Council reveal.
The bills seek stricter regulations on tobacco products by raising the minimum age to buy from 18 to 21, prohibiting the display of cigarette ads in stores and create a $10.50 price floor for cigarette packs, the Daily Mail reported. The plan would also prohibit the use of tobacco coupons and increase fines against those selling illegal cigarettes, the Mail said.
The plan would also classify electronic cigarettes as tobacco products, even though they contain no tobacco, according to the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association. |
