Douglas, Ariz. to Raise Tobacco Purchase Age to 21
In just a few weeks, Arizona will have a second city where you’ll need to be at least 21-years-old to purchase tobacco products, electronic cigarettes and other alternative nicotine delivery products.
Last week, the Douglas City Council passed the third reading of an ordinance to raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco to 21, a change that will go into effect on Aug. 11.
It joins Cottonwood as the only two cities in Arizona to raise the age to purchase tobacco to 21.
Douglas is located in southeastern Arizona along the Mexican border, approximately 120 miles southeast of Tucson. It has an estimated population of 16,600.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
