A state lawmaker is seeking to raise Florida's legal smoking age.
Republican Senator David Simmons of Longwood has introduced a bill to raise the age a person can legally smoke from 18 to 21.
If passed, Florida would become the sixth state to raise the smoking age.
Opponents have argued that if an 18-year-old is able to make decisions such as getting married, serving in the military or vote, they should be old enough to decide to smoke.
