Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upholds Brookline's law restricting tobacco sales to those born before 2000.

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upholds Brookline's law banning tobacco sales to anyone born after Jan 1, 2000. The decision supports the "Tobacco-Free Generation" law, which only restricts commercial sales and not the purchase, possession, or use of tobacco products. The ruling allows towns to protect citizens and aligns with a legitimate government interest, according to the court.
