Big tobacco is going to hate this - from the New York Post:
President Trump approves raising legal smoking age to 21
By signing the $738 billion Defense Spending Bill, on Friday, President Donald Trump has raised the legal age for smoking to 21 nationwide — news that went largely unnoticed.
The new rules include cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
The smoking age hike had bipartisan support in the Senate, and was co-authored by Democrats Brian Schatz and Dick Durbin, and Republicans Mitt Romney and Todd Young, CNN reported.
Now that Trump’s signature is on the bill, the Food and Drug Administration has 180 days to update its regulations — and the new age requirement will go into effect 90 days later, ABC News reported.
I used to smoke a pipe and do enjoy a nice cigar every so often ( once a year or so) but regular smoking is a serious health hazard. Time to break the cycle of addiction.
