        @WSJ i always thought it should have been 21. As a weed smoker i always thought weed, alcohol, and cigarette should be sold to 21 and older

        @WSJ If raising the age limit's the answer, just decree that you can only smoke legally past age 135.

        @WSJ So at 18 one can vote, have sex, serve time in an adult prison, get shot at on the battlefield, but you won't be able to buy tobacco.
