We warned them: bans don’t work—they backfire. Now MA is losing millions, smuggling is up, and lawmakers want to go further—banning legal sales based on birth year. This is government overreach. Take action: p2a.co/ofzwzsn

Selling nicotine to anyone under 21 is already illegal. “Nicotine-Free Generation” bans just split adults into two classes by birth year. 🚫 Reason’s Guy Bentley on why it’s a new generation of the same old mistake 👇 dcjournal.com/counterpoint-a… #AdultEnoughToChoose

NFG changes nothing for anyone under 21 — that purchase is already illegal. It permanently bans adults born after an arbitrary date. Not at 21, not at 30, not ever. MA youth smoking is 3.4%. Alcohol is 22.4%. No one is banning that by birthday. youtube.com/watch?v=HiNzBgxN…

Government approved 48 e-cigarette products. The rest of the market moved to sellers who check no IDs. Prohibition moves a market underground. Today the target is nicotine; next it's alcohol, cannabis, betting. Adults 21+ can decide for themselves. truthinitiative.org/research…

📊 New data: 43.8M Americans used marijuana in 2025; 36.1M smoked cigarettes. MA trusts adults 21+ with legal cannabis, then lets local boards ban legal tobacco for those same adults — forever. Trust adults, or don't. You can't have it both ways. 🇺🇸 usatoday.com/story/life/heal…

FDA authorized 4 more nicotine pouches — 30 now cleared for market. FDA's finding: lower harmful chemical levels than other smokeless tobacco, and reduced exposure for adults who switch completely. MA towns still want them banned. #LetAdultsChoose fda.gov/tobacco-products/ctp…

National Association of Convenience Stores estimates ~80% of the US vape market is now illegal product. That's what prohibition delivers: empty legal shelves, thriving black markets. Regulate adults; don't outlaw them. cspdailynews.com/tobacco/res…

The FDA just authorized 20 ZYN products to carry a reduced-risk claim — federal science confirms switching from cigarettes lowers disease risk. 🇺🇸 So why is MA rushing to ban them? Adults 21+ deserve the choice. 🗽 fda.gov/tobacco-products/ctp…

Public health experts & a retired police chief agree: NFG bans fuel illicit markets, strain enforcement & fail to reduce smoking. New Zealand already repealed its ban. Why is MA still expanding prohibition? 🚫 Adults 21+ can decide for themselves. patch.com/massachusetts/acro…

A Marlborough resident—and former smoker—puts it plainly: government has no business creating a "second tier of citizens" over a legal product. Barred from a cigarette but free to buy a joint next door? That's overreach. 🗽 #AdultChoice communityadvocate.com/letter…

🚬 The UK wants to ban cigarettes for anyone born after 2009 — a legal adult barred from a legal product forever based on birth year. Even Bill Maher asks: don't adults get to make their own choices? The same NFG fight is here in MA. #AdultChoice #LetAdultsDecide
