NEW YORK STATE Age limit appears to do something
Last week, a new law went into effect in New York state regarding the age at which smoking is allowed from 18 to 21. Of course, it was the knee-jerk thing to do.
If New York was serious about smoking or vaping for that matter, it could make these items unlawful. It will not do that with cigarettes because of the taxes being collected on those items that go into the coffers.
So while it looks as though the state is getting tough, it really isn’t. It is doing what elected politicians usually do best. Reacting.
