Karyl Rattay, the director of the Delaware Division of Public Health, writes that Delaware’s new law raising to 21 the legal age to buy tobacco and vape products will help reduce negative health outcomes caused by “the leading cause of preventable death and disability in Delaware and the United States.” The legislation was introduced by Sen. Bryan Townsend and signed by Gov. Carney in April.
