Strengthening Tobacco 21 Policies Requires Better Jurisdictional Alignment
Conclusions of the research:
"While the T21 law has been estimated to save over 230000 lives, key stakeholders have identified barriers threatening to weaken its impact across the United States. Our findings will allow additional research and policy development to strengthen and improve the impact on public health of the Tobacco 21 law. While T21 will not be a panacea for reducing youth tobacco use, reducing barriers to its implementation and enforcement could strengthen its impact."
