@Shopify's removal of online vaping stores from its platform is a meaningful step in closing channels that helped make illegal e-cigs widely available & too easy for young people to obtain. Great work by @AGRobBonta & NYC Law for leading the coalition of state attorneys general!

A study included in the special issue found that the e-cigarette prevention campaign prevented nearly 450,000 American youth from starting to use e-cigarettes between 2023 and 2024.
