Board schedules public hearing on nicotine-free generation policy
Marlborough Board of Health schedules public hearing on nicotine-free generation policy.
Board of Health · Meeting of August 4, 2026
Marlborough Board of Health schedules public hearing on nicotine-free generation policy. City Councilor Mark Vidal presented the program, which prohibits nicotine sales to anyone born after a designated date, on August 4; the board voted unanimously to hold a public hearing October 6 for public input, a proposal adopted by 25 other Massachusetts communities. The board tabled a tobacco sales permit request for Thomas Maakam at 175 Lakeside Avenue, requiring a variance under the city's permit cap, and voted to seek legal guidance before deciding in September.
In routine business, the board unanimously reappointed Parivallal Thillaigovindan as Tobacco Control Program Manager and appointed Katerina Koliovska-Tobaygo as part-time Tobacco Control Inspector, both for three-year terms ending August 4, 2029.
