As of today, Boston college campus stores and pharmacies, including those inside supermarkets, must remove tobacco products from their shelves.

The ban comes after the Boston Public Health Commission approved the restrictions last year. The board also closed loopholes in Boston’s 2002 workplace smoking ban by restricting smoking in outdoor adjacent areas.
The board also banned new smoking bars, such as hookah and cigar bars, and gave current smoking bars ten years to remain open. (pi)
