Franklin, N.H. Raises Tobacco Purchasing Age to 21, Bans Tobacco Use in Parks
At its most recent meeting, the Franklin City Council approved a pair of anti-tobacco ordinances, raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21-years-old and prohibiting the use of any tobacco products in city-owned parks.
It is no longer legal for a person under 21-years-old to purchase, use or possess a tobacco product, e-cigarette or liquid nicotine. Any person who provides such products to a person under 21-years-old will be subject to a fine of $50 for a first offense and $100 for each subsequent offense.
Additionally, the use of any tobacco product or “anything that simulates smoking” is now prohibited in 11 city owned park properties.
Franklin is home to approximately 8,700 residents.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
