Vitale Issues Statement on Phased-In Vaping Ban

Trenton – Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee Chair Senator Joseph Vitale issued the following statement commending Senate President Steve Sweeney’s proposal of a phased-in ban on the sale of all electronic smoking devices:

“It’s clear that flavored and non-flavored vaping products, including e-cigarettes, pose a severe and immediate health risk for communities and young people across the nation. I am glad the Senate President has committed to pursuing this issue with the urgency and focus that it requires.

“I look forward to working with Senator Sweeney, Senator Turner and the rest of our colleagues in order to find swift and responsible solutions that will keep New Jerseyans, especially our youth, healthy and safe.”
