A man holds a lit cigarette while smoking, Dec. 2, 2020, in San Francisco. Brookline, Mass., has adopted an unusual smoking ban that bars tobacco sales to anyone born in the 21st century. The bylaw — the first of its kind in the country — was adopted by Brookline in 2020 and on Friday, March 8, 2024, was upheld by the state’s highest court, opening the door for other communities to adopt similar bans that will, decades from now, eventually ban all future generations from buying tobacco.
