California votes to raise smoking age to 21: Has it worked in other places? - CSMonitor.com

California votes to raise smoking age to 21: Has it worked in other places? - CSMonitor.com: "The California Senate’s vote to make it illegal to sell tobacco to anyone under age 21 could mark the beginning of a visible shift in US policy on tobacco use, public health researchers say.

The vote – part of a broader package of antismoking measures placed before the Senate on Thursday – puts California a step away from becoming the second state after Hawaii to implement the policy. It heads next for Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown's desk, who does not comment on pending legislation."
