S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5164 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 12, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. MAYER, PICHARDO, JAFFEE, MOSLEY, RYAN, GOTTFRIED, DINOWITZ -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. BARRON, DUPREY, GLICK -- read once and referred to the Committee on Health AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to prohibiting the use of coupons or use of a "price reduction instrument" to lower the price of certain tobacco products THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable premature death in the United States and the State of New York. Given the substantial human and economic costs associated with tobacco use, New York State has taken numerous steps to reduce tobacco use among adults and to stop persons under the age of eighteen from starting to use cigarettes and tobacco products. Because tobacco use persists among adults and young adults under the age of eighteen, however, the state must take further action. Preventing adults and young adults under the age of eighteen from taking up smoking is critical as 80% of adults who become daily smokers start smoking before reaching the age of twenty- one, and nationwide, 99% of smokers start by age twenty-six. The legislature finds, based on numerous studies, that high tobacco prices reduce tobacco consumption among both adults and persons under the age of eighteen, who are especially price-sensitive. Just as high tobacco prices decrease demand, the availability of low- priced cigarettes and tobacco products increases demand and contributes to continued tobacco use. Low-priced cigarettes and tobacco products are widely available in New York State through a number of sources. The use of coupons, especially those directed to young people, reduce prices for tobacco products and increase smoking among youth. Discounts, particularly those marketed to youth entice consumers, EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD04572-03-5

Legislative findings. The legislature finds that tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable premature death in the United States and the state of New York. Given the substantial human and economic costs associated with tobacco use, New York state has taken numerous steps to reduce tobacco use among adults and to prevent minors from taking up cigarette smoking or using other tobacco products. Howev- er, the legislature finds that the state should take further action to discourage adults and young adults from taking up and continuing to smoke cigarettes, use e-cigarettes, or use other tobacco products. Despite New York state's laws which prohibit the sale of cigarettes and e-cigarettes to children under age 18, tobacco use among young adults persists. According to recent findings, nine out of ten smokers first tried cigarettes by age eighteen, and ninety-nine percent first tried cigarettes by age twenty-six. In addition, a recent report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Tobacco Products noted that while ciga- rette use among high school students has declined, it still is a substantial share (9.2%) of the most commonly used tobacco products by these students. Of particular importance, the report notes that e-cigar- ette use tripled among middle and high school students from 2013-2014 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
