Raise Legal Age for Tobacco Purchase

Raise the legal age for tobacco purchase in all forms to 21. This should reduce the number of young people who become addicted to these products at an early age.

Why is this important?

Even though the legal age for tobacco purchase in Florida is 18, my son and his friends had no problem making purchases at 15 and 16. Raising the legal age could actually save lives by not giving young people the opportunity to purchase this highly addictive product.
