No matter what one might think of the President, or his administration’s policies…you’ve got to admit that getting his signature on the legislation raising the purchasing age to 21 for tobacco and e-cigarette products can’t reasonably be seen as anything other than a GOOD THING.
Would I prefer an outright ban? Yes…even knowing it would likely suffer the same fate Prohibition did…bootlegging and the black market will get round the government ban.
But the difference between nicotine-based products and alcohol is that tobacco products are the only products allowed for sale in the US where using them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions actually kills the consumer (albeit slowly and eventually painfully).
But the harder we make it for the young to take up this habit, the better IMO.
They got this one right. 🙂
