Raise The Legal Smoking Age To 21?
Polls Have Closed
 		 YES
Since 1989, the number of 18-to-24-year-olds who smoke has increased. More must be done to prevent young adults from taking up the nasty habit
NO
18-year-olds are legally adults and can decide for themselves if they want to smoke. Plus, this change would cost the state millions in tobacco taxes

A measure to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21 has been shelved temporarily. If the measure goes through, it will help keep young adults from starting to smoke. We're doing a great job stopping adults from smoking but kids are another matter.

We'll send your vote to Gov. Davis and legislative leaders.

 		 The state Board of Equalization has estimated that the state would lose approximately 3 percent of tobacco tax revenues if the measure goes through. The cigarette tax increase is enough of a deterrent. Eighteen is the age of adulthood.
