Teen Smokers May Be Considered Underage Soon

Would be teen smokers might have to wait to legally buy cigarettes if a proposed bill keeps working its way through the Illinois Capitol.

 

A senate committee has approved a bill that would make 21 the age to buy smokes. The bill raises the age but it also removes any penalty for underage smokers from possession of tobacco.

 

Supporters of the bill say the later teens choose to start smoking then the less likely they are to begin.
