21or 18 smoking age CRR
So people are saying we need to change the age to 21 for buying cigarettes. I agree with this claim because I think that an 18 year old shouldn’t make a definite choice about living or dying. An 18 year old can vote, serve in the army, and drive. I think that an 18 year old can do all these at that age just not smoking. In the army they could die but they might not.  To vote you won’t die. And to drive you could die but you might not. So the one thing and 18 year old can do that is life threatening is smoking. And 18 year old is just getting there freedom and they don’t need to be pressured to buy drugs when they are still in school. This could happen because a 17 year old can’t buy them so he/she can use peer pressure on an 18 year old and then they could smoke.   
If an 18 year old can’t drink then they shouldn’t smoke either.  They are just learning to drive and they don’t need to be holding a cigarette because that could affect there driving skills. If they are drinking that will definitely effect there driving skills. Any type of smoking should be legal till the person is the age of 21 because they all affect a person life in three ways socially, emotionally, and physically. The only friends they are going to get are the druggy ones that aren’t really friends they are just using you for more drugs.
So all in all I strongly agree that an 18 year old can’t smoke until they are 21. They can vote, drive and serve in army. An 18 year old can’t think right because they think they have all this freedom so they do whatever they want but it doesn’t work that way and they could die from smoking.
