Sharon — A new policy that recently went into effect is meant to discourage the use of tobacco around town, Sharon officials said.
The policy, which extends to all tobacco products and began on Aug. 1, prohibits its use on all town-owned properties and inside vehicles. It was passed unanimously at a Selectboard meeting in mid-July, said Paul Haskell, the board’s chairman.
According to Haskell, the town-wide policy was a way of combining several disparate and ad hoc policies formed over the years.
“We decided it would be prudent to elevate our thoughts about helping folks quit smoking if they are, and keep folks from smoking, if they aren’t,” Haskell said.
