On the other hand, Gov. Lamont stated, “Every day thousands of New Yorkers travel over the border to work in Connecticut, and thousands of Connecticut commuters rely on New York for their livelihood. To that end, it’s common sense for our states to be aligned in numerous policy areas. Governor Cuomo and I have the chance to be leaders together on these issues of public importance, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
New York and Connecticut officials will collaborate in identifying ways to increase restrictions on the sale of e-cigarettes or vaping products to individuals under 21 years old.
Officials from both states will work together on taxation, product safety and testing, product availability, advertising, roadside testing, banking and financial services, and necessary social justice and equity considerations in the legalization of recreational cannabis.
In July, Gov. Cuomo approved legislation raising the legal age to buy e-cigarettes or tobacco products to 21 to prevent children and teenagers from getting exposed or addicted to nicotine. He also signed legislation further decriminalizing marijuana use statewide.
