The Board of Health’s public hearing on new tobacco regulations, written by Health Director David McKearney, is set for Tuesday.
The three-member board will meet at 10 a.m. at the Municipal Building, 355 East Central St.
The regulations call for raising the legal age to purchase tobacco products to 19 and establish a tobacco and nicotine delivery products permit, administered by the board. The town has never had a local tobacco permit, though businesses selling tobacco products must still acquire a license from the state Department of Revenue.

(Note: The BoH revised their proposed regulations and posted the new set (1/23/14), took down the old. You'll need to figure out what the difference between the two sets are, there are no revision marking on the new document.)
