Sad for the local merchants who will lose revenue, but I see this as being no more concerning than the fact that there are currently eight towns in Massachusetts that prohibit any alcohol sales:
Alford –Berkshire County

Dunstable –Middlesex County

Chilmark –Dukes County

Gosnold‐Dukes County

Hawley‐Franklin County

Montgomery‐Hampden County

West Hampton‐Hampshire County

Mount Washington ‐ Berkshire County
There used to be at least 18 "dry" towns in Mass, so I think things like this work themselves out over time.

My thoughts? Some politicians have too much time on their hands. Winter's coming on. If they're bored, they could drive a snowplow truck or something. But banning tobacco? As if people can't get it elsewhere. Ridiculous. And they'll hold a press conference and pat themselves on the back for "protecting public health." They might as well be handing out speeding tickets at a stock car race. Or trying to ban guns in Yemen.
