"Hawaii lawmakers on Friday passed a bill that would raise the legal smoking age to 21, positioning it to become the first U.S. state to do so.
The bill, which passed the state Senate by a vote of 19-4 after clearing the house last week, would also ban the sale, purchase or use of electronic cigarettes for those under the age of 21. Recent studies have found that e-cigarette use is on the rise among teenagers, even as they have abandoned regular cigarettes in droves."
Some counties already have it at 21, like New York and Hawaii County, but this would be the first state-wide age increase.
I'm a little on the fence. Cigarettes are fucking deadly, but I think people who can fight for our country should be allowed to smoke and drink.
