AI Summary
This bill prohibits local boards of health from banning the sale of tobacco products that are legally sold in the Commonwealth, unless they receive approval from the town meeting or city council to create such a bylaw. The bill does not prevent boards of health from taking action for an emergency or immediate health concern related to a specific tobacco product or location if a health code violation has occurred or another emergency health issue arises, as long as the action is not solely to ban the legal sale of tobacco.
