New York health officials on Friday announced two more deaths due to vaping-linked illnesses had been confirmed.

One of the deaths was a woman in her 20s in New York City and the other was an adult woman in her 50s in Ontario County, Governor Andrew Cuomo said. The deaths, the third and fourth reported in New York, come after the state's administrative ban on flavored vaping products was rejected in court. 

Cuomo has proposed a series of measures to crack down on vaping usage in his State of the State address. 

"These deaths are tragic and they are also preventable. We know smoking and nicotine are dangerous and it's becoming tragically clearer by the day that vaping is too," Cuomo said.

He continued, "State DOH and its Wadsworth Center Laboratory are doing groundbreaking work getting to the bottom of this unacceptable situation and we will continue using every tool at our disposal until these illnesses and deaths stop. In the meantime our message on vaping remains unchanged: If you don't know what you're smoking, don't smoke it."
