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.

    I am really enjoying what my kids are seeing in school. You touch one cigarette and you are ruining your lungs for life, and now are breaking the law. But feel free to smoke a joint whenever you feel like because its medicinal!

    I don't want my kids smoking either, and because I explained to them the benefits and the risks and they don't do either and I am happy with that. But man what the hell.
