The Massachusetts Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to raise the minimum age for purchasing cigarettes and other tobacco products across the state, which could make it the second to raise its threshold to 21 years old.The progressives have a haunting fear that someone , somewhere might enjoy taboo. What other rights do progressives want to take away from legal age voters?
The higher age is already in effect in Boston and more than 100 other cities and towns, covering about half the state’s population.
The bill, which moves to the House after being approved on a 32-2 vote, also sets new regulations for electronic cigarettes including a ban on vaping in places where smoking is otherwise prohibited. It would also ban the sale of tobacco in pharmacies and other health care facilities.
