Federal Legal Age to Buy Tobacco Products Officially Raised to 21
    #26412875 - 01/02/20 04:21 PM (4 years, 27 days ago)

Friday, President Donald Trump signed a $1.4 trillion spending package that, on top of many things, raises the federal legal age for purchasing tobacco from 18 to 21.

Beginning in the summer of 2020, it will be a violation of federal law to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 21. Since the 1990s, federal law mandated the legal age to purchase tobacco be at least 18.

The law also encompasses e-cigarettes and vaping cartridge, not just traditional tobacco products like cigarettes and cigars, adding regulation to an industry that, as TIME’s Jamie Ducharme writes, “has proliferated largely unchecked.”

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 27.5% of U.S. high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the past month. Raising the age one can purchase the products is intended to combat what many are calling a health epidemic amongst America’s youth.

A recent outbreak of vaping-related lung disease has raised even more concern about vaping products, although the disease is largely linked to black market THC cartridges filled with the additive vitamin E acetate.

In a statement to TIME, the American Lung Association called raising the age an “easy way to protect children’s health and prevent future generations from getting hooked on nicotine.”

Vaping advocate also have said they support raising the legal age, arguing vaping products were never intended for young people. Some anti-vaping activists have expressed skepticism of this opinion.

Twenty states have already raised the legal age to buy tobacco products to 21.

The signing of the package pushes off the potential of a government shutdown to the end of September 2020; many worried one might happen on Friday if an agreement between the two parties couldn’t be reached. A year ago, the U.S. government was in what become the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

The bipartisan spending bill also allocated $25 million for gun violence research as well as $1.4 billion funding for Trump’s border wall. Trump originally requested $8.6 billion earlier this year.

Easy way to make a few kids die from adulterated products. Parents should also do a better job making their kid feel like a complete loser for vaping or smoking cigs tho.

Great parenting strategy...the "make your kid feel like a loser" approach.

Anytime your kid does something you don't agree with just attack their confidence and self-esteem...I totally see that producing mature and well balanced young adults.

It's a wonder it hasn't caught on. I guess that is because it's such a challenge, no half-measures here, it only works if they feel like a complete loser.

Of course it would practically put therapists out of business; that must be why psychologists and behavioral scientists are so against it.

I've read that military personnel will be exempt from this, is that going to be true?

If so it will be fucked to see kids join the army just to get access to smokes a few years early...

Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

What about pornstars? You can bang 7 guys on camera but can't smoke to cope with your shame off camera?

So what happens to all the people who legally bought tobacco products when they were 18 and still have them? Is it now illegal for them to use their own property until they are 21? Is the federal government going to reimburse them with tax payer dollars? Is this simply the purchasing age, or the new usage age?

I don't think anything will change, people are still going to smoke and drink. They will continue to get other people to buy it and provide it to them, legal or otherwise. I always thought the age was already 21 but I guess its just for most states and some, like Florida, were 18.
