Yesterday I saw that Massachusetts raised their minimum age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21 state-wide. This will take effect Jan. 1st 2019.
I don't really care that they raised the age. States all over America are raising the age. I want to hear all the reasons for and against raising the overall tobacco sales age to 21 and what it's actually going to accomplish.
I'm pretty much on the fence about my thoughts on this. I started smoking and chewing well before 18. While I don't want kids smoking and chewing. I don't really see how its going to deter kids from using tobacco products when most kids who use tobacco start under 18 to begin with.
