Late Wednesday, Brown signed the bill raising the age for tobacco use, including vaping, to 21, the Associated Press reports. He also vetoed a bill that would have asked voters to divert tobacco taxes to pay for the health expenses of those with tobacco-related ailments, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    One of the factors cited in promoting this law is that 21 year olds generally do not hang out with high school students, so they will have less access to illegally-resold tobacco. Apparently friends and siblings aren't concepts our intrepid masters grok.

    I know some of my drunkest moments were between the ages of 16-20. Don't think I would have ever bought either for my siblings though. Granted I was miles away in school at the time, but they would have had to do it the hard way like I did even if I was still at home.
