Former New Jersey Governor and current State Senator Dick Codey plans to introduce a bill that would raise the minimum age for buying cigarettes in the Garden State from 19 to 21.
Two New Jersey lawmakers proposed Thursday to raise their state's minimum age for buying cigarettes to 21, reaching across the Hudson River to borrow an idea from New York City in a gesture of regional cooperation to keep tobacco from many young adults.
In a growing trend, New Jersey colleges and universities are giving tobacco a failing grade and banning tobacco use on campus. The increasing move is detailed in a new American Cancer Society report.
Three U.S. cigarette makers say they have reached a settlement with 17 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico to resolve a dispute over payments required under a 1998 anti-smoking agreement.
