We commend Governor John Carney for signing legislation to raise the purchasing age for all tobacco products, including vapor products, to 21 in Delaware, and would also like to recognize the instrumental leadership of Senator Bryan Townsend in this effort.
We cannot fulfill our mission to provide the world’s one billion adult smokers with a true alternative to combustible cigarettes, the number one cause of preventable death in this country, if youth-use continues unabated. Tobacco 21 laws fight one of the largest contributors to this problem – sharing by legal-age peers – and they have been shown to dramatically reduce youth-use rates. That is why we are committed to working with lawmakers to enact these effective policies and hope more jurisdictions follow in Delaware’s example.
