West Virginia Senate weighs 21 tobacco sale age bill
A bill in the West Virginia Senate would raise the tobacco sale age to 21, ban use of lit tobacco in vehicles with minors present, and designate regulated areas for tobacco and nicotine products. The measure moves from Health and Human Resources to the Senate Finance Committee amid possible opposition. It aligns state law with federal age requirements enacted in 2019.
