Should Wilmington Change Tobacco Regulations in Town?

Wilmington’s Board of Health is holding a public meeting tonight (Tuesday, July 21) on proposed changes to the town’s smoking and tobacco regulations.

Several towns throughout Massachusetts have already adopted similar rules for tobacco sales.

Tonight’s meeting takes place at Town Hall in Room 9 at 5:30 p.m. View the agenda for Tuesday night’s meeting >>>

The proposed changes include the following, according to a Wilmington Apple report:

• Raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco and nicotine products from 18 to 21

• Banning sales of flavored tobacco and nicotine delivery products in all retail stores except retail tobacco stores

• Including E-cigarettes under the definition of “smoking” and will also not be allowed to be sold where prohibited.

If approved, these changes could be implemented in the fall, according to the report.
