Another week goes by, and another community in Massachusetts has raised the tobacco age to 21. This time that community is Wilmington, which passed the measure by a unanimous vote.
During the hearing, 9 retailers spoke against the ban but the measure passed along with a measure that prohibits the sale of tobacco at local drug stores.
A hearing on the ban of flavored tobacco was pushed back to a later date, and the new regulations will go into effect on November 1, 2015.
