Rye Brook, N.Y.: In 2017, as a high school freshman, I watched flavored e-cigarettes sweep through my school, addict my friends and classmates and ruin many students’ academics and health. In 2019 and 2020, I led the youth charge for an e-cigarette flavor ban in New York, a policy that ended the sale of these beguiling addictive products in the state once and for all. However, our state’s tobacco regulation has a gaping loophole: it fails to fully ban menthol tobacco products.
