The minimum age to purchase tobacco and other nicotine delivery products will increase to 21 years old tomorrow in the northeastern Massachusetts town of Hamilton. The town’s board of health unanimously approved the increase on during its June 29 meeting, at which the board also decided to ban the sale of blunt wraps, while limiting the sale of flavored tobacco to specialty shops, and individual cigars must now cost no less than $2.50. Retailers that violate the new law will face fines starting at $100 for a first offense, with subsequent offenses increasing up to $300, and could face a suspension or revocation of their tobacco retailer permit. Hamilton is home to just under 8,000 residents and is located approximately 30 miles northeast of Boston.
