The legal U.S. tobacco use age is raised to 21.
The United States has raised the legal age for tobacco use to 21, aimed at reducing nicotine addiction among youth. This move is expected to improve public health by making it more difficult for minors to access tobacco and nicotine products, thereby decreasing the number of young people who become addicted.

The legal U.S. tobacco use age is raised to 21. Creates other Nicotine Alternatives The creation of nicotine gums, patches, lozenges,
inhalers, pills and many more other nicotine alternatives. The vaping epidemic among American youth is
a perfect example of an alternative becoming
another issue within its self. Negative Economic Impact Tobacco companies may also see a decrease in sales and customer base. With the increase of purchasing age, there will be a decrease
in sales thus meaning less taxes being earned. Change Social Norms Raising the age to 21 will hopefully break the trend
of smokers becoming addicted by/before the age of 18. By making cigarettes taboo, it will hopefully bring
a negative connotation towards cigarettes. Improving Overall Public Health Less people will become addicted to tobacco or nicotine. It will be harder for minors to obtain cigarettes
and other nicotine products.
