Everything should be 18 across the board, including driving licences.
The injustice here is that you have selective service at all. The fact that people who aren't allowed to smoke are eligible for it is really a side issue.
Yes, but 18 is pretty much an adult for all intents and purposes.
It's the age of majority, sure. But we get to do some things before 18 and sone thinfs after.
To some extent, either 18 or 21 as the legal smoking age is arbitrary, but the older age will - hopefully - result in fewer people taking up the habit, so it seems like a good idea.

I think everything should be restricted until the age of 21, and the 18-21 year olds should go to 'citizenship school' where they learn how to vote, drive motor vehicles, drink responsibly, how to exercise, and eat right (and not smoke) and generally interact with their fellow citizens, responsibly and intelligently. THEN they can go to college or trade school, for free.
Oh good. Yet another unenforceable statute.
Who wants to place bets that the next time I see my 19-year-old daughter that she still has vaping supplies?

Worse part is Trump signed it. Kinda floored me with that.
If you can go to war, then you can drink and smoke.

That should be a regular part of high school curriculum. They should also cut the funding that's squandered on sports programs.

But how is this out if the ordinary for Trump or the party in general?
Yeah, I just broke the news to her. She had just gotten home from purchasing JUULpods at corner store.

No, no no. We need to be able to draft people when they still cannot quite think for themselves. There would be far too much resistance if one could draft only fully functional adults.
Seriously it may be time to get rid of the Selective Service System.

This is nanny legislation. Something I didn't expect to see, but there it is.

That would be called civics class. I kind of wonder if schools even have that now?

Yeah, she probably will.
That means you will have the sad duty of turning her in. My condolences

I was a bit surprised. Usually when new legislation like this is passed people that already had that right are grandfathered into the system.Yeah, I just broke the news to her. She had just gotten home from purchasing JUULpods at corner store.

Yep. Getting right on that after I turn myself in for speeding yesterday.
Me too, but the article expressly states that it's going into effect immediately and there's no such grandfather clause.
