New York City tobacco enforcement delayed six months

The law takes effect now. It changes the start date for a 2025 law about who can enforce rules on tobacco, herbal cigarettes, and smoking gear in New York City. Those enforcement changes now begin six months after that 2025 law becomes law, not right away. This gives retailers and city agencies more time to prepare, but it also delays the new enforcement in the city.
