Choices
Poll Description

A proposed bill moving through the Massachusetts legislature would prohibit tobacco and nicotine product sales to anyone born after Jan. 1, 2006, eventually phasing out legal sales in the state. Supporters of the bill say it will protect the next generation from harmful tobacco and nicotine addictions while opponents argue the legislation would infringe upon adult autonomy and hurt small businesses reliant on product sales.
