Congress Set To Raise Age To Buy Tobacco, Vaping Products From 18 To 21

Buried inside the 2,000-page spending package expected to end up on the president’s desk, is a bipartisan plan to raise the national legal age to purchase tobacco and e-cigarette products from 18 to 21. The president and leader Mitch McConnell are now vocal supporters on the issue. Health advocates are celebrating, and they and some democrats say they all need to do much more to stop teens from smoking.
