raise the legal age of which you can buy tobacco products.

Created by M.B. on October 09, 2015

The age restriction to legally buy tobacco products should be increased to 21 years of age. Tobacco causes massive amounts of harm in many forms, like cancer and disease. Those who are under 21 are not exactly at the peak of brain development, and it can can be damaged by smoking. They don't always think about the effects of smoking due to the little thought they put into it. Under 21 people are easier to be influenced by their peers. This can not be stopped due to the fact that those 18 and up can buy the tobacco and use it. This moves them more towards using tobacco and becoming addicted at such a young age, and then having to carry that with them through the rest of life. This causing destruction and problems early in life that can not be changed easily. http://therealcost.betobaccofree
