The battle against tobacco usage is being fought on all fronts. On December 19, 2019, a measure to raise the minimum age to buy tobacco products to 21 from 18 was passed by the United States Congress and signed by President Donald Trump. This instated banning the sale of all tobacco products and electronic cigarettes to anyone in the US under the age of 21. This follows the raising of the age to buy tobacco in California to 21 in 2016. According to the California Tobacco Control Program: in 2016, roughly 10% of high-school students were smoking cigarettes, but by 2018, only 2%. The percentage of retailers selling tobacco to underaged youth dropped dramatically. These data show that the CA Tobacco 21 law was effective in decreasing the obtainability and usage of tobacco by youth. We expect that US Tobacco 21 will be similarly effective in reducing tobacco use by youth leading to less tobacco addiction in the US.
反对烟草使用的斗争正在全方位展开。2019年12月19日，美国国会通过了一项将购买烟草产品的最低年龄从18岁提高到21岁的措施，并由唐纳德·特朗普总统签署。这规定禁止向美国21岁以下的任何人出售所有烟草产品和电子烟。此前，加利福尼亚州已于2016年将购买烟草的年龄提高到了21岁。根据加利福尼亚州烟草控制项目：2016年，大约10%的高中生吸烟，但到2018年，这一比例仅为2%。向未成年青年销售烟草的零售商比例大幅下降。这些数据表明，加利福尼亚州的烟草21岁法案在减少青少年获取和使用烟草方面是有效的。我们预计，美国的烟草21岁法案在减少青少年烟草使用方面也将同样有效，从而降低美国的烟草成瘾率。
