FDA Mandates Retailers Verify Age of Anyone Under 30 Buying Cigarettes

They raised the smoking age to 21 some time ago. Because apparently smoking is a more serious thing than dying in a war. You can go die in a war at 18. But you can’t smoke. Or drink.

It’s freedom, apparently.

Reuters:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has mandated more people show photo identification when buying tobacco products, as the health regulator raised the age verification requirement by three years.

As part of a rule finalized by the agency on Thursday, the FDA now requires retailers to verify the age of anyone under 30 when they buy tobacco products, from under 27 previously.

The FDA also said retailers cannot sell tobacco products via vending machine in places where individuals under 21 are present or permitted to enter, from 18 years previously.

The United States has been cracking down on the use of tobacco over the past few years to curb preventable deaths from smoking and other products, as well as stop the use of e-cigarettes by minors.

You have to wonder what is going on with the anti-smoking agenda.

These are the same people who tell you to eat corn syrup, the same people who won’t regulate pesticides, the same people who flood the water with PFASs, the same people who tried to force people to take a heart-attack juice fake vaccine.

They don’t care about anyone’s health.

Yet, they care a lot about preventing people from smoking.
