You have to be 21 years old or older to purchase or use tobacco products.

great idea :D

it doesn't stop "illegal use" of tobacco, but it does radically cut down the accessibility of it to networks that filter down to kids smoking .... perhaps

Lol hate to be a service member there, can join the military at 17, drive a car at 16 but can't do a rub or drink a beer without someone giving you fluff

IIRC, this new law has exceptions for active military service members.

That's correct. There is an exemption for active duty military.

Still a stupid law. The 21 age limit doesn't work with alcohol and will not work with tobacco. People who are considered adults in every other way - eligible for the draft, eligible to vote, sentenced as adults if they commit a crime - are not going to obey a law that treats them as children if that law prohibits them from doing something they want to do. I mean, the ridiculousness of something like this is just extreme. A 19 year old can be FORCED by the government to leave his home and abandon his chosen path in life, to fight for a cause with which he may or may not agree - can be FORCED to kill other human beings - but he can't buy a pack of smokes or a six pack of beer. Stupid.

Typical CA fix.

Gov. Moonbeam Brown . Hippy. An 18 year old cannot drink, use tobacco, but can legally buy and smoke marijuana.
You cant have an AR-15 but you sure can have an m-4. Same rifle different name.
