Cedar Hills, Utah Raises Tobacco Purchasing Age to 21
Utah has its second city to raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco and tobacco alternative products to 21-years-old, as on Tuesday the Cedar Hills City Council unanimously approved an ordinance just one week after Lehi became the first city in Utah to do so.
The ordinance does not change the minimum age to possess or use tobacco products, leaving that at 19-years-old, the current age to purchase tobacco and tobacco alternatives.
According to a report by the Salt Lake Tribune, the increase went into effect immediately upon passage, but the city will withhold enforcement for 60 days so as to inform retailers and give them time to adjust to the new law.
Cedar Hills is home to just over 10,000 residents and is located in the north-central part of the state, 33 miles south of Salt Lake City.

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.
