Excited about day 2 of advocating for Tobacco 21 in WI! #HEAE20

[Jillian Smith, CHES @jillianjs]

Why should the age to purchase and possess tobacco, nicotine, vape products be raised to 21 in WI? 95% of smokers start before th age of 21 and would result in a 25% drop in smoking initiation among high school students #SB364 #HEAE20
