New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is joining a nationwide push to regulate electronic cigarettes by seeking to treat them like their combustible counterparts.
The proposal, included in the $141.6 billion budget Cuomo submitted Wednesday, would ban the devices, which burn liquid nicotine, from restaurants, offices and anywhere else where cigarettes are prohibited. It would also block the sale of flavored solutions and advertisements targeted at children.
