I was proud to serve as the #Tobacco21 bill’s lead sponsor in the Senate. This law puts MA at the forefront of preventing youth addiction to tobacco and nicotine, in order to improve health, save lives, and reduce healthcare costs.

This bill could not have been possible without the tireless efforts, over the last several years, of many of my colleagues and allies, including @RepPaulMcMurtry , @repkatehogan , and @Sen_Chandler and members of my staff, especially Zach Crowley and Dennis Burke.
This legislation is needed now more than ever because of the epidemic of vaping and e-cigarette use in our schools. It's vitally important to limit access to tobacco and nicotine products in high school social networks.
The #Tobacco21 bill will regulate the sale and use of e-cigarettes to protect youth, including MLSA of 21, prohibiting use on school grounds and other places where smoking is not permitted, and requiring child-resistant packaging

Finally, the #Tobacco21 bill will study current tobacco cessation insurance benefits offered by commercial insurers, @MassHealth , and the @MassGIC to determine how these benefit levels compare to @CDCgov guidelines and best practices
