19 states have raised the smoking age to 21 so far. The current federal smoking age is 18, but 19 states (including Guam) have raised it 21 on their own. But some say it doesn’t go far enough to combat the increase in youth vaping. Anti-smoking and vaping groups want Congress to ban flavored e-cigarettes, halt most online sales of tobacco products and require more transparency around tobacco advertising. President Donald Trump told reporters last year he supports raising the smoking age, according to the Washington Post.
