Mayor Bloomberg’s NYC To Raise Minimum Age To Buy Cigarettes To 21-Years-Old ~ This should tick off our Military Especially!
Bloomberg’s NYC To Raise Minimum Age To Buy Cigarettes To 21-Years-Old
The age to legally buy cigarettes in New York City would rise to 21 from 18 under a proposal that officials unveiled on Monday, a measure that would give New York the strictest limits of any major American city.
The proposal would make the age for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products the same as for purchasing liquor, but it would not prohibit people under 21 from possessing or even smoking cigarettes.
It is the latest effort in a persistent campaign to curb smoking that began soon after Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg took office, with bans on smoking in restaurants and bars that expanded more recently to parks, beaches, plazas and other public places.

If I was in the military or a Veteran living in New York I would be ticked off big time.
