Psychopharmacology of Alcohol and Drugs Discussion
Nicotine is ingested through the mouth by either chewing tobacco
or inhaling cigarette smoke or nicotine vapors in a traditional or
electronic cigarette. While the legal age for purchasing tobacco
products used to be 16 years old throughout the United States,
recent legislation has raised the age. In most states in the United
States, the legal smoking age is 18 years old though some states
have risen the age to 21 years old. Laws for the use of vaping
products are changing too as more adolescents use these
products.
