California Senate Approves Bill to Raise Smoking Age to 21

http://fox40.com/2015/06/02/california-senate-approves-bill-to-raise-smoking-age-to-21/

Four days into summer vacation, several boys are giving the monkey bars at a Modesto playground a work-out, focused on the simple joys of childhood.

California senators are trying to preserve that joy by voting 26 to 8 to prevent some of it from literally going up in smoke.

They’ve endorsed a plan to raise the state’s smoking age from 18 to 21, further restricting tobacco access for kids.

The youngsters at the playground say they’ve already been confronted with the ugly side of tobacco.
