LOS ANGELES (Reuters) Jun 04 – Seeking to drastically cut youth smoking rates, California legislators introduced a bill on Monday to raise the state’s legal age for buying cigarettes from 18 to 21–the highest in the country.
“This will make California the strictest state in the nation when it comes to letting young people smoke,” said Assemblyman Paul Koretz, the Los Angeles Democrat sponsoring the bill. “These merchants of death are desperate to expand their customer base, but they ought not be able to prey on teenagers to get them addicted.”
