Indiana, Massachusetts, and Hawaii Introduce Controversial Nicotine-Free Generation Bills: A Dangerous Precedent for Tobacco Regulation

January 17, 2025 / Cody Carden

Washington, DC: In a bold and unprecedented move, Indiana, Hawaii, and Massachusetts have introduced legislation aimed at implementing a “Nicotine-Free Generation” policy, raising alarms about government overreach, economic harm, and the potential for widespread unintended consequences. Indiana’s Senate Bill 322 (SB 322), Hawaii’s Senate Bill 429 (SB 429), and Massachusetts’ House Bill 2372 and Senate Bill 1317 propose banning the sale of tobacco products to individuals born after specific dates—June 30, 2004, in Indiana—January 1, 2005, in Hawaii—and on or before January 1, 2006 in Massachusetts, effectively creating a permanent prohibition for future generations, regardless of their age.
