His order also directs the state's public health agency to explore if the state can step up warning signs at retailers that sell vaping products., pending approval by the state's health council.

Phil Murphy recently announced he had created a task force to come up with recommendations for addressing health issues from vaping.earlier this month to curb the underage vaping epidemic.
