NYC council votes to make tobacco-buying age 21 Oct 31st 2013, 01:47, by By Associated Press, Associated Press NEW YORK — Smoking may be a bad habit — but New York City lawmakers want their residents to be older and wiser before deciding to take it up. The New York City Council voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to raise the age for purchasing cigarettes from 18 to 21, a move that would make the nation's most populous city among only a handful in the United States to target young smokers by barring them from buying smokes. It also approved a bill that sets a minimum $10.50-a-pack price for tobacco cigarettes and steps up law enforcement on illegal tobacco sales.
