Not everyone wants to raise the smoking age. Lawmakers in four states have spoken out against proposed legislation. Bills in Indiana, Idaho, and Mississippi failed to meet a vote deadline, while a similar measure in South Dakota fell flat in the House.
Politicians and citizens in these states wonder why a country that allows 18-year-olds to vote, join the military, and legally purchase firearms doesn’t trust their judgement when it comes to tobacco. Meanwhile, at least 14 other states continue to push for the misguided measure.
