the Dover Board of Health will hold a public hearing on
Monday, November 3, 2025, at 7 PM via Zoom. The Board is proposing changes to:
Chapter 220 Smoking; Sale of Tobacco and Nicotine Delivery Products
The Dover Board of Health proposes to adopt The Nicotine-Free Generation policy, which would become
effective January 1, 2026, prohibiting the sale of tobacco
or e-cigarette products to individuals born on or after January 1, 2005. The adopted policy language is as follows: “Prohibition of Sales – No person, firm, corporation,
establishment, or agency shall sell tobacco or e-cigarette
products to anyone born on or after 1/1/2005.”
The purpose of this amendment is to protect the health of Dover residents by reducing youth access to tobacco and nicotine products and preventing addiction in future
generations.
Any person wishing to be heard on the matter should appear
at the date and time listed above. The link to the meeting will
be provided on the Town website. Comments can also be forwarded to BOH@doverma.gov prior to the hearing or you

copy of the proposed changes to the regulation can also be
obtained upon request.
