The original back comedian who started the you ever notice how white people routine. All others were followers. Like this one comedian said if there was a Mount Rushmore of comedians, Richard Pryor would have to be included. Nuff said. Added 4 years ago by guest, 1 point
Nearly a dozen communities across the state within the past year have raised the age for tobacco sales higher than 18 years old, evidence of a slow-spreading movement that activists say will reduce cigarette use among teens. Most states, including Massachusetts, allow 18-year-olds to buy tobacco products. Alaska, Alabama, Utah and New Jersey are the exceptions, all of which have pushed the legal age to 19.
In 1992, the United States Congress directed the states to establish 18 as the minimum legal age for purchasing cigarettes, and each state has complied with that directive. In all states except Alabama, Alaska and Utah, the legal age to purchase tobacco products is age 18. It is age 19 in those three states. There are several bills in different states to raise the legal age to smoke to 19 or 21.
