Summary: In Westminster, Mass. the local Board of Health is trying to stop the sale of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco. Locals are upset over their rights being tampered with and the negative effects that this ban could have on local businesses selling tobacco products.
Relevance: Our agency might collaborate in the future with the Board of Health in Seattle and we could tackle the production and sale of cigarettes, being that cigarette use has been linked to deathly diseases. However, we would have to take into consideration the effects of banning such a lucrative and popular product.
