NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Lawmakers are expected to discuss a bill on Tuesday that would raise the legal age at which Tennesseans could buy tobacco to 21.

A house committee is scheduled to discuss raising the age requirement from 18 to 21 years old.

The law would apply to both tobacco products and electronic cigarettes.

If passed, Tennessee would join Hawaii as the only states to raise the minimum age higher than 18.
