Breckenridge, Minn. Raises Tobacco Purchasing Age
While the federal increase in the tobacco purchasing age continues to get sorted out—including having several trade organizations making a public request for clarification over when it will be enforced—local municipalities continue to pass their own increases. On Monday, it was Breckenridge, Minn.,
The ordinance increases the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21-years-old but does not effect the age to possess or use tobacco products. However, a person using false identification and attempting to purchase tobacco products could be cited.
The council also made changes to the administrative fees for obtaining a tobacco retailers license, both of which will go into effect upon publication of the ordinance’s passage.
The town is home to approximately 3,200 residents and is located on the western edge of the state, near the southeastern corner of North Dakota.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
