We need to decide upon one age of adulthood for all things. 16, 18, 21 whatever just pick one and at that age you’re an adult and have to own your decisions. Multiple different ages for freedoms is stupid. You either are an adult with all the freedoms and responsibilities or you’re not.

Alcohol, tobacco, voting and enlistment should all be 21.

Are democrats going to riot in the streets over this? They think people are adults and should vote at 16. It’s going to be crazy for them to push younger voting age while the age for smoking and drinking is 21 . We need to pick one age for people being adults.

I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. But I have often been skeptical about the medical cost issue. Last year I found a study that showed smoking saves the non-smoking public money in the long run.
Sure they die of diseases. But so does every non smoker at a later date in life than a smoker. The elderly need medical care more often and for longer periods than the smoker with lung cancer who dies at 60.
And then there is social security.

It’s absolutely age discrimination.

It’s pretty funny when LA raised the drinking age a 20 year old challengers the DUI law as discriminatory based on age (the LA constitution protects against discrimination based on age)

And the LA Supreme Court said it was discriminatory but we needed federal highway fund so suck it

Dumb, and I dont smoke.

More nanny state BS. Why is the govt telling legal adults what they can and can't do to themselves?

This is right up there with the drinking age being 21.

Who thinks voting and enlistment require less maturity than drinking and smoking?

It's idiotic.

It should be 18, just like alcohol, stripping, gambling, banging, voting, marriage, the draft, and the ability to consent to a contract. We have to stop this incessant infantilization of adults. Teach them the risks and consequences and let them decide for themselves, and then let them be responsibility for all of the consequences (both good and bad) themselves.

I just wish they’d charge $10 per butt deposit. You have to return your 20 butts when you buy a new pack or pay $200 again.


fricking smokers

If alcohol, smoking, and gambling are 21 then the voting age should be 21.
