A 11509 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to restricting the sale of tobacco products and vapor products; repealer

This bill updates New York State's tobacco laws to restrict the sale of cigarettes, vaping products, and related items to anyone born after December 31, 2007. Retailers must verify a customer's birth date using government-issued identification and post specific signage indicating that sales to those born after that date are prohibited. The legislation also requires tobacco products to be kept behind a counter or in a locked container and limits where vending machines can be placed. These rules apply to all businesses selling tobacco, including shops, bars, and private clubs.
