Opinion: Britain embraces a Massachusetts experiment on tobacco regulation — just as the state might roll it back

The United Kingdom has adopted a tobacco-free generation law, banning tobacco sales to anyone born after January 1, 2009, while Massachusetts has a similar law in 24 communities. This move adds 69 million people to the 659,000 Massachusetts residents protected by this tobacco endgame. The UK's adoption of this law marks a significant step in a public health revolution.
