“County commissioners took little time Tuesday to extinguish tobacco and electronic-cigarette purchases for anyone younger than 21. Without comment, the commission unanimously raised the legal age to buy tobacco and e-cigarettes from 18 to 21. Federal law already sets 21 as the age to buy tobacco products, but there is little local enforcement. The federal law leaves regulation of merchandising or use of e-cigarettes to the states, staff said. There was no discussion Tuesday of how the county would enforce its new age restriction.”
