New York City expands tobacco enforcement

Effective immediately, the law expands tobacco enforcement authority in cities with at least one million people, including New York City. City officers, employees, and agencies authorized to enforce local laws on tobacco sales to minors now also qualify as state enforcement officers. The city's Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings also qualifies, but only for Public Health Law section 1399-ee. The covered rules concern tobacco products, herbal cigarettes, and smoking paraphernalia.
