Tobacco control advocates and public health practitioners have vocal, smart, and powerful partners on our side whose educational campaigns92 have already returned dividends in counteracting harmful industry practices. Such policies are not preempted at the federal level, and at the state level localities can use the plicy options outlined in this brief to comply with their own preemptive status. If statewide change is not feasible, policies like ending the sale of flavored tobacco and tobacco-free schools can be implemented through legal tools like retailer licensing restrictions, land use and zoning updates, or stand-alone ordinances. In policy campaign design, early and consistent engagement with the communities most affected by the proposed policy will foster trust, offer insight into any community concerns about the policy, and lead to a stronger policy with more equitable implementation. Prohibiting menthol and other flavored products is an urgent public health issue. For decades, the tobacco industry has targeted women, Hispanics, non-Hispanic Blacks, and LGBTQIA+ communities. The evidence is clear \u2014 banning all flavors in all tobacco products will reduce smoking initiation and support health and wellbeing in all communities. Action today by state and local policymakers is core to advancing the health of the Nation",

But it reflects a broader transition from regulation to prohibition among progressives who seem to have forgotten the lessons of the war on drugs.\r\n\r\nThe local merchants who challenged Brookline\u2019s ban argued that it was preempted by a state law that sets 21 as the minimum purchase age for tobacco products. They also claimed the bylaw violates the Massachusetts Constitution\u2019s guarantee of equal protection by arbitrarily discriminating against adults based on their birthdates.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe SJC rejected both arguments in a decision published March 8. The court concluded that state legislators had left local officials free to impose additional sales restrictions. And since birthdate-based distinctions do not involve \u201ca suspect classification,\u201d it said, Brookline\u2019s bylaw is constitutional because it is \u201crationally related to the town\u2019s legitimate interest in mitigating tobacco use overall and in particular by minors.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe striking aspect of Brookline\u2019s law, of course, is that it applies to adults as well as minors.",
