Second New Hampshire City To Prohibit Vaping, Tobacco For Anyone Under 21

In an effort to influence state legislation, the city council of Keene, New Hampshire voted 10-4 to raise the minimum age a person may purchase, use, or possess tobacco and vaping products to 21. The former age requirement in the city was 18; the council's new ordinance is effective immediately. (A video of the meeting can be viewed here.)

Keene is now the second municipality in the state to make the change after Dover raised the age to 21 in 2016.
