there is no good-faith argument for extending 16-year olds the right to vote without concurrently the argument for extending 16-year olds the rights to drive, smoke, drink, gamble, join the military, get married and have sex (with men and women of any legal age)

I've been saying since I was 18 that voting should be restricted until 25.

I’m 23 and I often question my capability to make rational decisions concerning my own health.

How about peer pressure? Applies a lot to most aspects you mention but not voting because voting behaviour cannot be observed by peers!

implication teens are more susceptible to peer pressure than adults (uncertain this is true) would imply they are mentally less capable than adults, and should therefore not be voting

At very least if you don't give them all the rights you might extend to an adult, don't fucking tax them.

Eh. You can want someone’s input in one context but not another. Not that societal engineering is going very well *at all* but we do contain multitudes. “I’m gonna have to live with this shit” is true in a vote, not equally true with a pack of smokes.

um it is especially true with a pack of smokes

If 16 year olds are as capable as 18yos at thinking about the future, they should be able to evaluate the clear science and make their own decisions about drug use/smoking
