Mixed feelings from me. This is a shock coming from a senator who represents a tobacco-growing state. I wonder how folks at home feel about this.
I generally believe in a single age of majority at 18 for most things. (Even driving at 16 makes me uneasy... but then I also believe that voting should be legal at 16, so I'm not one to lecture on consistency I suppose.) I've also had a tobacco cigarette maybe once or twice over the last year and I'm well over 21 now, so I'm not personally invested in this.
i may hate tobacco but i hate the idea of raising the age for purchasing it even more just on principle. 18 is more than old enough to make those sorts of decisions
