More than 150 municipal health boards have passed restrictions on flavored nicotine sales, but students who are already exposed to e-cigarettes say they can easily drive 10 or 20 minutes to a town that doesn’t have a sales ban in place, said Reyad Shah, who works at Framingham High School with Spear.
