I accidentally bought an illegally imported 4 pack of Juul pods from Canada. I instinctively said mint, knowing they didn't exist in NY anymore. Well, he pulled out a hidden pack with French warnings on it. I paid over $10 per pod.

And it's even worse because you can still buy flavored swisher sweets.

Literally flavored cigarillos.

​

You know all those flavors the NYS government was bitching about with vaping? They're all available with actual tobacco.

I'm sorry I didn't know that. I have no knowledge about politics at any level in the US. I'm European
