And this new age limit will do................diddly squat! Kids under 18 have no problem getting smokes, alcohol or drugs now so what kind of idiot believes that upping the age limit will have any effect whatsoever? Well okay it will have an effect, it will create an ever larger illegal market or older friends will just make the purchases for them creating a larger non violent criminal class.

I bet Meathead Reiner has got his his fat fingers in this, he's just the it takes a village idiot type that would push this 'for the children'.
It's a waste. A waste of legislative time, a waste of regulations, a waste of time.
Why, it just means more non PC kids will be saddled with criminal records for the crime of ...smoking (tobacco) cigarettes. Anyone who supplies the 'little nippers' of a mere 20 years and 364 days with a pack will be in violation of the whole bit, too, no doubt, and parents whose packs get filched for the occasional coffin nail will doubtless seen as anything from neglectful to abusive to contributing to the delinquency of a minor (while those who push for their little kids to have gender reassignment surgery are "heroes" of the Left).
In the meantime, the push to legalize recreational marijuana continues....
The bloody world is upside down.
