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.

    Although I don’t use tobacco products and never have, banning tobacco sales unfairly targets tobacco users. Tobacco use is already banned at indoor public places such as restaurants. If the state wanted to ban tobacco sales, might as well ban marijuana and alcohol sales as well, both of which cause heath issues if abused!
