So Getting Carded Will Make You Feel Both Young AND Really Old
-
So, about that Hawaii bill that would ban cigarette sales by 2024, making the minimum age to buy cigarettes 30 next year and, two years after that, you'd have to be 100 years old to buy a pack of Marlboros. Now, we've talked about this before -- whether banning cigarettes is necessary for public health and safety or would create a black market and fail like prohibition. But there might be no better test case than Hawaii, because it's isolated and getting cigarettes into the state in volume would be tough. But I can also imagine every visitor being prodded by their Hawaii-resident friends to pack a couple of cartons in their checked bags. (KITV/Honolulu)
