Published August 3, 2013 at 9:35 AM EDT

Many towns have policies on tobacco use by town employees. Some have polities prohibiting smoking on town property, but in Sharon a Tobacco-Free Community policy took effect this week.

VPR's Peter Biello spoke with Amy Noyes about the policy. Noyes reports for Public Post, VPR's online source of community news that holds big consequences for the state. Funding for Public Post reporting is made possible in part by the VPR Journalism Fund.
