A STATE SENATE COMMITTEE IS ADVANCING A BILL RAISING THE AGE FOR BUYING CIGARETTES.
THE TOBACCO 21 INITIATIVE MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO SELL TOBACCO PRODUCTS, INCLUDING E-CIGARETTES, TO ANYONE UNDER 21. IT’S SPONSORED BY SENATOR JULIE MORRISON OF DEERFIELD.
SENATOR SAM MCCANN OF JACKSONVILLE QUESTIONS IF IT GOES TO FAR.
CRITICS SAY THE BILL ONLY ADDRESSES THE SALE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS…NOT POSSESSION. IT NOW MOVES TO THE SENATE FOR A VOTE.
