10+ min ago (272+ words) (The Center Square) " Wisconsin remains one of just six states without a state law matching the federal age to purchase tobacco products at 21. That creates an issue for local law enforcement, who cannot enforce the age 21 restriction when state law says you have to be 18 to purchase tobacco.

He said that Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa have all passed laws moving the age to purchase tobacco to 21. The Wisconsin Department of Public Health Services said that there was a decline…...
