Bill Increasing the Age to Buy Tobacco Products in Wisconsin Sent to the Senate

(Terry Bell, WRN) You may soon need to be 21 in order to buy tobacco products in Wisconsin.

Anti-smoking advocates complain the bill in the Wisconsin Legislature has too many holes in it. Sara Sahli with the Cancer Action Network says lawmakers are letting a loophole for e-cigarettes continue.

The Senate’s judiciary committee last week voted to send the proposal to the full Senate for a vote. A similar bill died in the State Assembly two years ago.
