A New York opinion supports Albany’s new law to curb teen access to cigarettes, loosen penalties, and allow license revocation for sellers who break the law. It notes failed provisions on school ads and public transport anti smoking campaigns and urges enforcement by merchants and police.

He argues a leader should model minority advancement and notes Anderson nominated a non minority from outside his district.
