Lake in the Hills, Ill. Raises Tobacco Purchasing Age to 21
While a bill at the state level awaits the governor’s signature, the village of Lake in the Hills, Ill. has passed its own ordinance increasing the minimum age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21-years-old.
The ordinance was approved by a 4-2 vote during the village’s Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday according to a report by NWHerald.com, and will also apply to tobacco alternatives such as e-cigarettes and vaping devices. It also makes Lake in the Hills the first municipality in McHenry County to enact such an increase.
The village has not yet posted the full ordinance on its website, meaning its effective date is not yet known.
Lake in the Hills is home to approximately 29,000 people and is located approximately 45 miles northwest of Chicago.

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.
