💬 Discussed
After extensive public testimony both for and against, the board closed its hearing on a proposed NFG regulation that would phase out retail tobacco sales to anyone born after a set date; board will deliberate at a future meeting, tentatively late April or early May 2026.
💬 Discussed
Opponents — including convenience store owners and industry groups — argued the NFG policy would devalue local businesses, drive customers and tax revenue to neighboring towns, and create illicit markets, noting national youth tobacco use is already at historic lows.
💬 Discussed
Supporters cited a 77% drop in Stoughton High School vaping rates since 2019 (still 10% have vaped), described NFG as a birth-date-based phase-out leaving current adult purchasers unaffected, and noted the MA Supreme Judicial Court upheld the policy in Brookline; pro bono legal defense was offered.
