Weston Board of Health declines stacked fines for tobacco retailer violations. Two of the four tobacco retailers in town received citations in state compliance checks conducted by the Massachusetts Health Officers Association; Mobil Mart received a $1,000 fine for selling to a minor, while Pine Brook Country Club was cited for three violations including sale to a minor, failure to check identification, and providing product as a free sample. The board voted, on a motion by Diana Chaplin, not to stack the violations for a potential $8,000 penalty, instead imposing a single $1,000 fine.
