BOSTON (AP) - U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey are backing legislation that would hike the nation's smoking age by banning the sale of tobacco products to anyone under 21.
Warren said restricting tobacco sales to adults 21 or older will save lives and promote healthier communities.

But what about plastic bags?! :-)
More people will be murdered and killed by policies
of this fake Indian and ice cream salesman
(and their delusional party) than
will die by tobacco-induced carcinomata.
We have the world and domestic disasters and crises created by Obama...and these commie hacks are worried about smoking age. Another example of how unnecessary and useless the RATs are.
Just in time for the ‘16 election — a new national Dem cause, right up there with “women’s health” and the “war on women.” $20 Trillion debt? U.S. defense in tatters? Pfft...mere trifles.
I thought it was made 21 years ago
I’m all for it....but if they are that immature....shouldn’t we yank their vote away and decline them as soldiers too? How can the Army trust them with pistols and machine guns.....oh my.
Typical Massholes.
Huh? Where in the Constitution . . .
Does this include medical marijuana?
Because before 21 you are not wise enough to choose for yourself if you want to smoke...
...but you are wise enough to have a vote in the management of the largest human enterprise on earth, the US government.
Heaven forbid someone light up a cigarette these days. Here in CA they practically call the SWAT Team out on you if you do. But pot smoking....well that’s now considered medicine. Go figure.
Its fer the chilrun dontchaknow.
Smoking will be on the rise. Great job, morons.
Making it as hard as possible for private industry to survive is the goal of dems. Here in VA, tobacco won when the state tried to impose a no smoking law in Cigar shops for crying out loud. Eventually, they’ll get their way.
Oh for the love of Pete!! This is Liberal 101....social engineering...when there are many issues far and away more important that this. Elect nits and you get nitocracy power grabs.
Get rid of the 19 year old draft registration first. Or move the age to vote and draft to age 21. Make it for females too.
Why 30? Why not 65? That way they can thin out the population of senior citizens and delay the collapse of Social Security and Medicare.
Exactlty. Unconstitutional. But what does that matter.
When I was a kid my aunt often sent me to buy her cigarettes and my grandfather had me buy his chewing tobacco. Have never used tobacco.
