Brookline, Mass.
Law: A “tobacco-free generation”
Status: Dead after City Council declined to vote in April 2016
Why You Should Care: Brookline proposed a different twist on banning tobacco, seeking to outlaw tobacco sales to anyone born after 1995. Though this measure failed to go to vote, it seems likely that other local governments could also seek out different ways to ban tobacco sales, as Westminster, Mass., famously attempted in 2014.
