(WRN) -A group of state lawmakers want to raise the age to purchase all tobacco products in Wisconsin.That bill got a hearing in the Assembly's substance abuse committee on Wednesday. The measure would increase the age to purchase cigarettes and vaping supplies to 21, just like alcohol.
The bipartisan effort is aimed at slowing vaping habits in teens, but would need to clear both houses of the Legislature to move forward.
