The list of cities and towns in Massachusetts increasing the minimum age to purchase tobacco products grew again this week, as on Monday night the Natick Board of Health voted to increase the minimum age to 21-years-old.
The board also made several other tobacco related changes: banning the sale of blunt wraps and limiting the sale of flavored tobacco products to businesses that prohibit minors, though menthol, mint and wintergreen flavors were exempted from the ban.
A report from MetroDailyNews.com did not provide a start date for the change, reporting that it will go into effect “in a few months” after a period of getting the changes publicized. Neither the city nor the board have posted the changes to its websites.
Natick has a population of approximately 33,000 people and is located just over 20 miles west of Boston.
