U.S. Raises Age To 21 To Purchase Cigarettes

No USA, NANCY PELOSI

Fuck the U.S.

"Part of the proposed Federal budget would move the legal age to buy cigarettes and vaping products to 21."

Complete nonsense. The feds have no power to do that; it's up to the states individually what they want to do.

"In some states, you must be 21 to buy tobacco or vaping products. It's still 18 in North Carolina. But legislation in Washington could change that.

"A measure in the federal budget proposal would require being 21 to buy tobacco products or vaping materials. Health experts said it would save lives. It would also impact small businesses like convenience stores.

"Definitely our biggest seller," especially among young people, said Smokey Lynn, who manages the Exxon Quick Pantry in Waynesville.

"As soon as they turn 18, they're here ... As long as you're carding ... There's a lot of underage buying," Lynn said."

Bill hasnt passed congress and trump can line item veto it.

Human brain isn't fully developed until age 25.

Injecting poison before 21 is probably not a good idea anyway.

Who cares? Are a bunch of people here younger than 21 or something? Granted I sometimes think some of the troll threads are made by 10 year olds but still.

If you're old enough to vote, old enough to be drafted and shot in a war too, you're old enough to make up your own mind about what you want to drink, eat or smoke.

And fuck you too, cocksucker.

ya can't make this stuff up...


*cough* NLP *cough*.... oh scuse me i need to cut down.

The United States has NO delegated power for this law regulating tobacco use by the People. According to the clear wording of the 10th Amendment, the fedgov may do NOTHING without enumerated delegated power. ALL those who voted for this, regardless of their rhetoric about "protecting the Constitution" and "the rule of law" are doing the opposite and are ALL guilty of "abuse of power".

You can drive a vehicle at 16.

You can also drive that vehicle off a cliff or into other people.

If someone is old enough at 16 to drive (place their own life and others life in danger) then they can choose to smoke if they want to.

She mad.

Plus I thought this was discussed here couple weeks back?
Must’ve jumped timelines.

Colorado very hush hushedly lowered the age for a medical marijuana card to age 18 from 21.
I’m personally not ok with this because there’s a lot of shenanigans going on that involve young folks with a medical card being granted a much higher “plant count” from the regular 6, or the higher amount they can buy and possess being higher (no pun) than the regular 1 ounce rule.
So you’ve got these 18 yr olds that can go (or even call ahead now) and order up 4,5,6 ounces and have them all weighed out and packaged into some dime bags or whatever....and voila this is how our children are gaining access so easily clear down into our elementary and middle schools (where’s it’s now the new 9th grade of yesteryears and normalized and trendy due to goOogle brain being in everyone’s back pocket)

Yes a child (under 18) can obtain a medical marijuana card in Colorado with both parents’ consent but that also requires literally three physicians’ “recommendations”, with one of the three must be the primary pediatrician of the patient with an existing and ongoing Dr/Patient relationship.

there’s no such thing as a prescription for Marijuana ...not until Nixon’s scheduling of the plant as a “1” is changed.

Oregon already has.

This is retarded.

Even though smoking is bad for you, leave people to their own devices.

This outta stop people smoking cigs and diseases related to smoking! End sarcasm/

Law makers are so fucking stupid

Bad idea.. but none of the governments business. Blame parents if we must blame people

That'll definitely stop them. Just like the age 18 requirement did.


😂😂😂

I didn't read it but what exactly do they think this is going to accomplish? More tickets?

So, you can drive a car, go into debt, pay taxes, be conscripted in the armed services, buy a gun, be deployed and go to war, and (but not limited to) go to prison....but you can't buy a pack of smokes?? I always thought the 21 drinking age was a joke also. Way to double down on stupid big government.

So if they lower the age to 18, they’re still considered an adult right?

So what would the “crime” be if someone age 21 and up purchases the cigarettes for an 18 year old??? It wouldn’t and couldn’t be contributing to the delinquency of a minor... I suppose there’s a law term that I’m just unaware of because people who purchase alcohol for someone 18 is a crime.

Same in Cali.

THAT is Bull Shit.

I don't smoke, personally HATE it ... but when you are sending 18, 19, and 20 year old kids off to possibly DIE, and KILL, in Wars and then telling them that people of their age are NOT mature enough to decide if they should smoke or vape then something it terribly wrong with the government.

If you can't smoke, vape, or even drink beer at 18, 19, 20 then people of that age should also be barred from being Cannon Fodder for the Government's Military Killing Machine complex. Do NOT let people of that age into the service until they fit the definition of "mature adults" that the government is using for these other rediculous "Nanny State" control mechanisms!!

As regulations grow, liberties die.

In Arizona, if you look under 50, you get carded for cigarettes, and for alcohol you're carded if you look under 40.

it's tobacco's own fault. they wouldn't sell their companies to the master controllers who wanted them, so now they're being driven out of business

In the middle of a cigarette, does anyone know what puts the cigarette out at the half way point?

ITS NOT GOOD
