I think if anything, the age might have been bumped to 19-20. At least get the legal age out of high school for the most part.

Originally posted by Sleepy View PostI disagree. Not saying they won’t be able to find it, but I do believe it will make it more difficult. It’s too easy for a senior in high school to buy up tobacco products for younger folks. I don’t know a lot of 18 year olds with 21 year old friends. If it hadn’t been for the seniors, I’d have never gotten my snuff as I didn’t know anyone much older than high school. I think the biggest impact will be less tobacco in schools. It will still be there, but I think it will be a lot more challenging than it used to be.

Can't buy a gun until your 18. Should that be moved up to 21? Will that stop school shootings? Same logic applies. Making a law does not stop something from happening.

I kinda figure this will be the same.
I’m in my 30’s so I’m not impacted. Just figured it would be good for popcorn this evening
