Anyone know the NYS Law regarding E-Cigs

**Lgordo4224** · 10-11-2009, 07:02 PM

Just wondering if anyone knew the law on use and sales of e-cigs in NY ?
I would like to see if it is possible to sell them in my area.
Would love to start a e-cig business in up state NY.
Every one that sees me vaping asks questions and want to buy a kit LOL.
WOW I could help them kick the smoking habit for good.
Weeeee !!!

If you do start a local business, depending on where you are upstate i might drop in and say hi

I "live" anywhere between Rochester, Buffalo
and the "ski country" south of Buff. Let me know where your business will be

The only legal glitch i've heard of in NYS is Suffolk county attempting to subsume e-cigs under their smoking ban, but that has nothing to do with owning or selling and it probably doesn't apply to you (i think suffolk co. is in NY City? Not sure).

So at this point we still have a bright green LED light

go ahead and start that business, let us know how it goes!

Sweet, corning's only a 2 hour drive

lol!

I couldn't tell you where to start either man, i am not a businessperson!

Try talking to some of the suppliers here on the forum, they could give you a heads up on where to order from.

It will be nice to have a (somewhat) local supplier! Good luck on your endeavors

let me know when you're up and running, ok?

A good supplier would be HealthCabin. They will provide you a resellers price list when you buy in bulk.

Lgordo, federal law (as enforced by the FDA) will trump state law in this area, so you might want to proceed with caution at this point, at least until we know the likely result of the lawsuit pending in federal district court (Smoking Everywhere and Njoy vs the FDA). Judge Leon's ruling on the preliminary injuction requested by SE and Njoy should be delivered relatively soon, and will be a good indicator of what's next.

Very good point. It couldn't hurt to hold off for a little while anyways.
