How Can YOU Make A Difference? Code Red - is a call to action to call or email your legislator. When there is a Committee Hearing you can submit testimony with a letter or by participating at the hearing, either in person or remotely. Look for news and updates on this page.

We work for the day when no person in the Commonwealth is addicted to nicotine or impacted by the harmful effects of tobacco use on health and wellbeing.

Here's how we've committed to making this vision a reality.

Current tobacco laws in Massachusetts

The Massachusetts Association of Health Boards has collaborated with other experts to create a guide to tobacco laws in Massachusetts.

 Laying a Solid Foundation: Tobacco Laws Pertaining to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a comprehensive listing of state and federal tobacco-related laws affecting Massachusetts, as well as provisions from the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement between most states’ Attorneys General and the vast majority of tobacco companies. It was last updated in 2021.

In Massachusetts, cities and towns can enact stricter tobacco-related laws than those at the state or national level, so it's important to check municipal websites or the city/town clerk's office to see if a municipality has laws that enhance or advance state or national ones.
