The United States' cultural obsession with using 21 as a minimum age is a big problem. That problematic cultural characteristic has manifested itself into an absurd smoking age in the United States' most populous city. The smoking age should be lowered to 18 in all of New York state and in all of Massachusetts.<br /><br />According to the NYRA, two legislators in Utah are going to introduce a bill which would raise the smoking age to 21. This is also shows that discrimination increases as years go by.<br /><br />Bill de Blasio understands civil rights better than Michael Bloomberg so people in New York City should encourage Bill de Blasio to repeal that law before it takes effect. <br /><br />I agree with Ajax the Great on "good riddance". Hopefully, Bill de Blasio will replace Michael Bloomberg on the New York's Eve countdown ceremony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
