On Friday, December 20th President Trump signed a spending bill with a provision raising the smoking age from 18 to 21. From my research, the provision does not include a grandfather clause for people who have already come of age. It is unfair to punish 18-20-year-old voters and citizens by taking away their right to tobacco with no consent which has already been granted. It is irresponsible to leave those struggling with a nicotine addiction to be forced to quit abruptly. I respectfully request a grandfather clause allowing 18-20-year-old citizens born before the effective date to still be able to purchase and use tobacco products.
