While Senators Dick Codey and Joe Vitale have people's best interest at heart by attempting to raise the legal smoking age, will it really prevent people from starting? Will people at age 21 be that much more informed about the dangers of smoking that they'll decide not to start, as opposed to making that same decision at 18?

What do you think of raising the minimum age to buy cigarettes? Will it prevent that many people from becoming smokers to make the bill worth it?
