Carlton County, Minn. Raises Tobacco Purchasing Age to 21
This week, the Carlton County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed an ordinance that will raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21-years-old. It’s a move that comes on the heels of a federal increase being signed into law as well.
Like the national increase, there is no specified date for the county’s increase, as the text of the ordinance has not yet been released by the county.
Additionally, the county is implementing new sales restrictions on the sale of flavored tobacco products, including menthol.
Carlton County is located approximately 125 miles north of the Minneapolis metropolitan area and is home to approximately 35,500 residents.

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.
