Utah has its first city to have raised the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21-years-old, as on Tuesday night the Lehi City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that will go into affect in the coming weeks.
It’s an increase from the state’s minimum age of 19-years-old, which has been in effect since 1963, and will also apply to e-cigarettes and tobacco alternatives. It is slated to go into effect 20 days following its signing into law and required publication, meaning the change should be official by mid-March.
Lehi is home to just under 60,000 residents and is located just over 30 miles south of Salt Lake City.
