While a New York State ban on flavored e-cigs sits on ice via the courts, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, standing with high school students at Middletown High School in Orange County, will push a new plan that bans kid-friendly flavors outright and at the national level. Schumer, who has successfully pushed the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to act on this public health epidemic, said that the legislation needed to take proficient aim at the problem is now ready.
