This is just another opportunity to criminalize something.

Pretty soon 18 year old adults will be in the court system for tobacco.

Meanwhile, reefer is being legalized.

Meanwhile, reefer is being legalized.

You do know that is it safer in almost every way, and that has been proven time and time again.

Who am I to judge their vices?

Just put a sin tax on them.

Make them pay for their hospital before they go.

I had no idea there were national rules on this.

Sure, the national age limit has been 18 for a very long time. That's why federal agencies like the FDA can send out calendars to convenience stores that say what birthdate is okay to sell tobacco to. In the past few months a lot of states have been bumping the age limit up to 21, and now the federal govt has followed suit.
Based on harm caused by substances that are already illegal.
We're living in the dumbest timeline.

    Meanwhile American tobacco is being pushed on many countries unable to withstand the pressure. ie. Philippines, etc.

    I do not have any numbers in front of me. Last time I looked Europe exported more tobacco than the United States. As for Southeast Asia, I have no idea where their tobacco come from.
