Going against his own party in the state senate and assembly, Christie signed a bill that, when it takes effect in November, will increase the minimun age that tobacco can be sold to from 19 to 21 and will increase the maximum fine for sales to underage buyers to $1000.
I can see a lot more mystery shops being done now.... where you go in without ID and try to buy cigarettes....
21 is a good legal age for a lot of things, tobacco, alcohol, weed...
There should be an exception for soldiers. I have a hard time telling a 19 year old soldier who may have spent months in combat that he can't order a beer in a bar when he's home on leave.
Excellent idea! looks good on paper!! BUT!!!!!
That is not going to stop them!
Where there is a will there is a way. Give a homeless person $1.00
They will make your purchase of cigarettes, cigars and wine.
Smoking is killing many people. Lung cancer, COPD , emphysema, throat cancer and other smoking related diseases taking many people at a very young age.
I have seen what smoking can do for I have seen all the above in people . Some have to wear oxygen and others are confined to their beds for the energy is gone as the lungs deteriorate. I know too many who have died from smoking.
Does anyone else find it as amusing as me that a morbidly obese man is dictating to others what they should be doing to their bodies?
