3. Trump Raising Age Limit For Tobacco Consumption to 25 Years Of Age

Ganon19 1 day ago#1 Posted By: Now8News There is more bad news for cigarette smokers – the US government is raising the age of consumption to 25 years old, due to the increasing health dangers of tobacco. The cost of healthcare to treat the illnesses caused by tobacco was $96 billion in 2014. By raising the legal age of consumption to 25 years old, it is estimated to reduce these costs by nearly 60% by the year 2021. According to the Cancer.org website, tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US. Yet more than 45 million Americans still smoke cigarettes. Tobacco smoke contains 7000 chemicals and compounds. Hundreds of these are toxic, and at least 69 are cancer-causing. Currently there is a proposal to add an additional $2.50 tax to the price of a pack of cigarettes. They say a vote for raising the cigarette tax, as well as raising the age of consumption, is a vote against cancer. States must increase their tobacco tax, because they expect the sales of cigarettes to dramatically decrease when raising the legal age of consumption to 25. But Roy Jensen, director of the University of Kansas Cancer Center insists, “The most important components are the health benefits that will derive from it.” http://now8news.com/trump-raising-age-limit-tobacco-consumption-25-years-age/ Joel Embiid is a bust People who agree with me: 4 reportquote

While science backs up that our brains keep developing past the age of 18, the country still considers you a legal adult at that point. At 18 you can literally make the decision to sign-up with the military and get into active combat, which also can't be good for developing brains (hell looking at the state of many of our returning veterans, it's not good for developed brains). We shouldn't decide that certain activities should have a higher age limit and say science supports it while letting them make all other manner of adult decisions.

It's not so much as what adults are allowed to use as much as what vendors are allowed to sell. If somebody sold medicine that was toxic to some people, it would not continue to be sold for very long because it's irresponsible. Besides, 18 year olds already have to contend with legal drinking ages. reportquote

I'm sorry, but being able to smoke under the age of 25 is one of the most important things in my life. Now, I'm 34 and don't smoke, but I enjoy it when young people are smoking around me. Why? Because it makes them look way cooler. I like looking at cool people, because I'm not very cool myself. reportquote

Underage parties with alcohol, that kinda thing.
