Massachusetts Legal Smoking Age Increase Takes Effect December 31

By |

Massachusetts will soon join communities throughout the nation that have increased the legal smoking age to combat youth smoking. (File photograph)

In an effort to reduce youth smoking rates across the state, The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed a bill this week that increases the legal smoking age across the state to 21 years of age and implements new provision that regulate the sale of e-cigarettes. The legislature also enforces child-resistant packaging and strengthens the regulations around smoking in public areas, particularly schools. The legislation goes into effect on December 31 and includes a grandfather clause for those individuals who turn 18 before January 1, 2017. State Representative Linda Dean Campbell, who joined her colleagues in this effort, said “This is a commonsense piece of legislation that takes what we have learned about the life long impacts of teenage smoking through decades of research and implements preventative measures to reduce associated life-threatening risks.”

This legislation is part of a national campaign known as “Tobacco 21” operated by a public health nonprofit organization known as the Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation.
