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.
