NYC raises age limit for tobacco purchase

[jfssms]

Who cares. I don't drink nor smoke. But if teens want to slowly kill themselves let them.

i just wish our Governments would get out of the alcohol an tobacco business. maybe one day they will man up and just ban them.

Great idea ............. after all, nobody smokes before turning 18, so raising the legal age to 21 will reduce the number of smokers and therefore reduce the cost of Babbacare and I can my insurance plan because I like it.

Bloomberg is out and needs to leave a legacy before creating the Hitlery / Bloomberg '16 machine to Utopian Domination.

I think you should be able to buy cigs / alcohol / pot at age 10.

I would expect you ,of all people, to think More Laws in this place would be of benefit......10 heck you can wipe your own by that age........

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C.S. Lewis

"Tobacco 21" bill as Dictator Bloomberg calls it. No longer can an 18 year old buy tobacco. Do you all see it spreading across the nation?

fixed it^^^

I think it should be up to the shop owners to decide what ages they want to sell to.

i think it also mentioned that the minimum cost of a pack will be $10.50 also. WTF! who could afford to smoke anyway?

I'm not sure how anybody can afford to live in that town. A closet apartment runs a couple grand rent.

I just quit smoking a couple of weeks ago. Prior, I would buy OK made Echo brand for $32/carton in Chandler. Working in Chicago area, didn't have a pack with me one day and stopped at a store in Illinois - they wanted $11.90 for a pack! Went down the road into Indiana and they were $6.05! I waited til I got back to my RV where my Okie smokes were.

Chicago is currently talking about adding another $.75 per pack tax on them. Chicago is jacked up in so many ways!
