YOUNGER TROOPS WOULD RE RARRED FROM BUYING TOBACCO PRODUCTS UNDER NEW PLAN

摘要

A bipartisan congressional plan to raise the federal minimum age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21 won't include an exception for military members, despite past indications from top Senate leaders those plans would not include active-duty troops. On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., announced details of their new legislation, calling it a way to curb the "public health crisis" of teenage smoking.
