The Legal U.S. Tobacco Use Age is Raised to 21

The decision to raise the legal U.S. tobacco use age to 21 has a broad range of implications affecting public health, business, and personal freedoms. On the public health front, this change is anticipated to lead to a decrease in lung cancer rates and prevent premature deaths by reducing the number of years individuals spend smoking.
