Fort Lee, N.J. Eschews Tobacco Purchase Age Increase
Borough leaders in Fort Lee, N.J. have decided against trying to raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco products, saying that it could create a conflict with state law.
The borough’s attorney said raising the age from 19 to 21 would possibly put the city at risk of a lawsuit, according to a report on NorthJersey.com. Fort Lee becomes the fourth city citing legal reasons for not moving forward with the age increase, joining Edgewater, Paramus and North Plainfield, however 14 cities and towns have approved the increase, none of which have been sued over it.
Fort Lee has a population of 35,000 and is located west of Manhattan, connected to the island by the George Washington bridge.

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.
