Raising the legal age is aimed at reducing the number of young people who consume cigarettes and e-cigarettes.In the United States, in fact, an age law was already proposed in 2019, and the 21-year-old tobacco law received support from both parties in Congress.States such as Idaho and Florida are proposing one after another to raise the age limit to 21.

On the other hand, Alaska's proposal to levy a state e-cigarette tax is not a good one for the local tobacco market.The bill would tax e-cigarette products at 45% of their wholesale price, but not FDA-approved smoking cessation devices.
