Attention, New York City shoppers: Don’t think you’re going to easily avoid the statewide ban on plastic bags by just switching to paper ones.

Starting next year, those are also going to cost you 5 cents each.

When New York State lawmakers approved the ban on single-use plastic carryout bags — essentially ending the “paper or plastic?” dilemma — they gave local governments the option to charge extra for paper alternatives.

The New York City Council has done just that, voting to tack on a nickel fee for each paper carryout bag a customer uses at retail and grocery stores.

The bill, approved Thursday in a 38-to-9 vote , came less than a month after New York became the second state, after California, to ban most plastic bags. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the plastic-bag ban into law during Monday’s celebration of Earth Day.
