New York State Health Department is considering a ban on tobacco sales. The state health department commissioned a survey to gauge support for an all out prohibition of tobacco sales in the Empire State. Previously there was an attempt to pass a ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored tobacco products that failed to get through the legislature. The survey asks what people’s opinions would be on a policy to ban all tobacco products after a 10-year draw down period or banning all tobacco sales to people born after a certain date such as 2010. The poll also solicited input on whether there’s backing for other tobacco-related measures, including capping the number of retailers who can sell related products in a community and prohibiting its sales near schools. Michael Davoli, senior government relation’s director for the New York-based Cancer Action Network, said the state has “a historic opportunity” to “prevent another generation of youth from getting addicted to deadly tobacco.”
