Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The revised tobacco rules separate Westfield’s local penalties from state requirements and clarify how violations will be handled. A possible ban on kratom, synthetic cannabinoids, and other unregulated intoxicating products is still under development and is not yet in effect. Youth health efforts will add Narcan training to health classes, offer nicotine-cessation support, and create an alternative program for some students caught with vaping or cannabis products.
