Details are being released regarding the enactment of Northampton's Nicotine Free Generation policy.
Last month, the Northampton Board of Health passed the policy, which will go into effect on July 1st.
Starting on that date, retailers will be banned from selling tobacco and nicotine products to anyone born on or after July 1st, 2005.
More than two-dozen other communities across Massachusetts have similar policies in place.
