Tobacco 21 is here in Fitchburg

Effective January 1, 2019 ,you must be 21 to purchase Tobacco and Nicotine Delivery Products in Fitchburg as per unanimous vote of the Fitchburg Board of Health.

Although the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regulation contains a Grandfather Clause, which allows anyone 18 years of age by January 1, 2019 to purchase these products, the Fitchburg Board of Health recognized the confusion that may be created by this legislation and voted to impose no Grandfathering.
