Can’t you, like, buy weed at 18? Or what about vapes? Plenty of literal children using those.

im guess im assuming you live in the us, but you might want to double check that.
Tobacco sales to anyone under the age of 21 has been federally illegal since 2021.

My state too, weirdly.

No US state let’s under-21 buy tobacco anymore.

www.scstatehouse.gov/…/3548.htm#:~:text=Section 1…. As of January 10th, 2023, the minimum age in SC is 18. I cannot find anything in the Bill that mentions 21 being the minimum age.

All tobacco and vape got set to 21 and over where I live so just military and adult jail as benefits of turning 18 now.

- Emancipated from parents
- Can sign contracts and take out loans
- Vote + run for office
- Work a job without a permit, age-capped hours, and on machinery deemed 18+ only for safety.
- Full licence instead of provisional
There’s more, but turning 18 grants a lot of rights still.

No longer have to lie about age on 18+ sites

That’s been 21 for a lot longer than tobacco.

There's no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.
