New York State is attempting to butt in on teen smoking with a new law that prohibits hookah sales to anyone under the age of 18.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) signed the ban, which went into effect with the new year. It also makes the use of shisha and other types of smoking paraphernalia illegal to people underage.
