Adopted — June 10, 2026, by a vote of 2 to 0; effective September 10, 2026Easthampton's Board of Health voted 2 to 0 on June 10, 2026 to adopt a Nicotine-Free Generation regulation with a cutoff of January 1, 2006, and to move all nicotine pouch sales to adult-only tobacco stores. The regulation takes effect September 10, 2026. Because the cutoff is January 1, 2006, no one it covers reaches 21 before January 1, 2027.
The city's production is among the most complete here, tracing the sequence from first contact to final vote across roughly fifty email threads between May 2025 and June 2026.
It is also the clearest illustration of how towns are selected: Easthampton did not seek the policy out, it answered a mass survey.
