Northampton Board of Health to discuss proposed generational ban on nicotine products

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - The Northampton Board of Health will be meeting to discuss a nicotine free generation policy that would ban the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to anyone born on or after January 1st, 2004.

If approved this measure would prohibit the sale of products including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and nicotine pouches.

This move comes after a similar measure was recently passed by the town of Brookline.
