Will they raise the age of enlistment to 21 then? I find it suspect as fuck that you can receive weapons training and be possibly maimed/killed by an IED at 18 but cigarettes and booze is just "too far."

If they raise it to 21 its one step closer to being banned IMO

Tobacco is the poorest excuse for a drug there is. You barely get any psychotropic effect, its insanely addictive, chronically unhealthy for yourself and those around you and one in three lifelong smokers dies because of their habit.
I look back at my 21 year tobacco career and.. I wish it had just been illegal.
I mean, we stopped using Lead(II)acetate as an artificial sweetener. Nobody in their right mind says their freedom is infringed upon that we dont use Lead salts as sweeteners anymore, or radium vaginal douches.
Its the same with commercial tobacco. Shit's got to stop. Let people substitute with cheap mild outdoor cannabis or nicotine vaping.
Tobacco has to stop. Let current smokers smoke free of charge and prevent any nonsmokers from getting into the habit.

Yes, but this bill will prevent people already addicted to nicotine who are 18-20 from purchasing it. What the fuck are those people supposed to do? Cold turkey sucks, extremely bad. You can't use e cigs to wean yourself off because this law also affects e cigs.
And I'm fucking sick of people (like in the article) saying "protect the kids". If someones 18-20, they are a fucking adult. They dont need pointless regulations to protect dumbass highschool kids...

I'm against drug proihibition but tobacco isnt a drug, its a mistake teenagers make that takes years or decades to correct and often ends on a respirator.

I'm personally a dipper, not a smoker. the ban affects e cigs and snuff. Two things that are great tools for quitting smoking. I could give a damn if cigarettes are banned, but ffs

Not impossible to what? Purchase tobacco? I know, I've done it for years. But being of legal age now, ffs, its nice not to have to drive to several stores to avoid being ID'd when trying to buy a can of fucking dip.

Could big tobacco have any say so in whether or not this bill passes?

I was smoking and drinking before the legal age. If people really want to do it they will do it. I just think young people would be safer in a bar at age 18 than at a party in the woods.
