Teen vaping is a problem, but this seems like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Tobacco and nicotine products should take a similar approach to alcohol and increase the age to 21.
This would help get the products out of high schools like it did for alcohol.
Removing e-cigs can hurt people that use them to get off cigarettes.
- betwixthewires 4y ago1) many states have already raised the vaping and smoking age to 21, 2) I don't know a single human being who drinks who did not drink in high school. Same applies to smoking and vaping.
- mywittyname 4y ago> 2) Maybe I'm just a lame nerd, but I didn't drink in high school.
- notRobot 4y agoSame. Also holds true for many friends of mine.
- vonseel 4y agoI did, but now as an adult (early 30s) I wonder how we even got our hands on it. I guess we knew some sketchy characters and people with fake IDs, but there's no I would risk a charge providing alcohol to minors as an adult, and I wouldn't have provided alcohol to high-schoolers when I was 21, either.
- weezin 4y agoI didn't realize that the laws were changed somewhat recently. For your other point I certainly would have drank a lot more in HS if I was able to buy it myself or had friends that could.
