Nassau County raised the age to 21 for tobacco purchase

Starting Tuesday, May 29, anyone buying tobacco from cigarettes to other tobacco related products, the age is 21. The law was signed into effect by county executive Laura Curran. The previous age was 19. Suffolk County already has the law for age 21 in place and now the entire Long Island will be in effect. All stores selling tobacco and tobacco related products must complete sale upon id verification. Failure to do so will result a $1,500 fine. The next law under work is on e-cig and its in the planning stage.
