New York

Statewide, except the five boroughs.

On December 3, 2024, the New York State Department of Health determined that flavored vapor products with 6-Methylnicotine, sometimes marketed as containing NoNic6, are not prohibited by Public Health Law section 1399-mm-1 at this time, “when not expressly sold with the intent to be used in conjunction with a product containing nicotine.”

NoNic6 is 6-methylnicotine, a nicotine analog. Non-nicotine does not mean risk-free. NoNic6 may be addictive and acutely toxic.

Recently, flavored vapor products with “nicotine-like” or “nicotine-alternative” ingredients (specifically the synthetic compound 6-Methylnicotine) have become available in the marketplace. Products with these ingredients are sometimes marketed as containing “Metatine” or “NoNic6.”
