        @WSJ 21-yr-olds don't hang around with teens, usually, and most people who start smoking do it as teens. Moving the age to 21 is wise.

        @WSJ The age for buying tobacco products (all) SHOULD be 21. Teens should have no access to it at all.

        @WSJ Why is it that the same people want alcohol & tobacco sales to be age 21 & voting 18. Maybe because they're not smart enough at 18?

        @WSJ @trippmickle-sure it will; just like the age limit keeps them from drinking or getting guns; they ALWAYS find a way around age limits!

        @WSJ raising them to 65 would do the same thing. Ageist barriers are silly and controlling using bunk eugenics pseudoscience
