NC bill would raise legal vaping and smoking age to 21, some exceptions included
A bipartisan group of House members, led by Rep. Donny Lambeth, are testing the winds of socioeconomic change in North Carolina with a bill that would raise the smoking and vaping age to 21.
House Bill 435 has been sent to the Committee on Rules, Calendar and Operations.
The bill covers all tobacco and tobacco-derived products, electronic cigarettes and vaporizers, and cigarette wrapping papers. It would take effect Jan. 1 if signed into law.
The bill carves out an exemption for active military personnel and contains a grandfather clause for those born in 1998 and 1999.
