E-CIGARETTES SOLD at this store in Morris Park will be a thing of the past after Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday, Sept. 15, that his administration was working on emergency legislation to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes across the state.
The flavored e-cigarettes have already been removed from many store shelves after at least six deaths reported across the country. Those who have fell ill from smoking e-cigarettes reported symptoms that include shortness of breath, vomiting and fever. Cuomo signed a bill in July raising the age to purchase any tobacco products from 18 to 21. The new law takes effect in November.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.

Of all the issues and weighted concerns facing society today the radical left insist on devoting their energies on attacking that which really bears no matter and of minor significance like; sizes of soda containers, plastic straws, statues and monuments and now vapes attempting to come across as heroes. Shameful.
