If you’re between over 18 but under 21-years-old, you have just 10 days to purchase tobacco before an increase to the minimum age to purchase tobacco goes into effect in Peoria, Ill., as on Tuesday night the city council passed an ordinance increasing the age by an 8-2 vote.
The ordinance does not make mention of an increase to the age to use of tobacco products, however, so persons between 18 and 21 would not be punished for possession.
Peoria is home to just over 114,000 residents and is located in central Illinois, approximately 150 miles southwest of Chicago.
