“Police in Cheyenne don’t have the authority to enforce the new federal law that increased the legal age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21, the agency said. Officers can only legally enforce state laws and Cheyenne city ordinances, spokesman David Inman said. He said city officials posted the clarification on its Facebook page on Wednesday because they’d been receiving calls from residents and local businesses. Nonetheless, it’s still illegal for someone under the age of 21 to purchase products containing tobacco or nicotine, including vaping products.”
