I think this will reduce the amount of young people that smoke because it is a law now and most people would not want to break the law.]]> 2019-11-14 15:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411241657 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411249732 Daysi: i feel that this change is good for teens and miners because now its harder to get tobacco at a young age this change will most likely reduce the amount of tobacco related illnesses in New York and also reduce the amount of teens using cigars ]]> 2019-11-14 15:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411249732 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411250908 Bryana: i'm glad that the law has finally changed. I don't know if it will reduce the number of young people that smoke because they can find ways to smoke. Yes it will make it more difficult, but it won't be completely impossible]]> 2019-11-14 15:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411250908 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411252697   Jaheem - I feel like its good because it keeps teens away from making bad decisions and also from having bad health problems. this will reduce the number of young people that smoke because they wouldn't be able to get there hands on one because of there age.]]> 2019-11-14 15:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411252697 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411252976 Luis Ynfante: Raising the age from 18 to 21 is a very good thing because now younger people are not smoking. For a 18 year old to be smoking is bad because their brains are still not fully developed and can be dangerous. This will lover the amount of teens that smoke but they are still going to find a way to smoke.]]> 2019-11-14 15:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411252976 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411253164 Zariah S - i believe that this law won't make much of a difference because teens 18 or younger will find a way to get tobacco in New York. i do feel like it's worth a try but i doubt it will work just like the law for being 21 or older to purchase alcohol. ]]> 2019-11-14 15:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411253164 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411253311 Idanis: i think this is a good step towards making a change in teen smoking because now that the law has changed it will make it more difficult for teens to get a hold of these e-cigs, etc. ]]> 2019-11-14 15:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411253311 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411253733 Robert- I think this change will be beneficial for teens because they won't be able to get tobacco products or vapes as easy as they used to, and it'll decrease the amount of teens, but not by much because there's always a way to get it.]]> 2019-11-14 15:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411253733 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411254165 Jahnavin: I like that the new law when it comes to buying tobacco. I think this will prevent young adults/Teens from smoking because since the raised the law on age it will be less kids smoking which mean since its not around them they wont think about smoking.And that its a law kids are not going to want to break a law just to smoke tobacco]]> 2019-11-14 15:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411254165 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411255393 Averiana M - I do think its a good thought for a them to create a law regarding the age of tobacco use but this is probably not gonna change many teens. I understand they are trying to look out for the community and the younger generation but its gonna take more than just one law to stop young teens from doing these bad 🤬.]]> 2019-11-14 15:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411255393 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411255421 Yoselyn- I think change is good because this change will probably reduce the amount of teens using tobacco]]> 2019-11-14 15:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411255421 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411256451 Averiana M -  I agree with you Yoselyn but do you think a law is gonna make teens stop that fast they are gonna need to have some sort of plan to stop their behavior ]]> 2019-11-14 15:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411256451 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411256602 mariama: yes i think this will reduce the population of teenagers smoking, not totally but it will help a littler because there will be a way to find tobacco... i like the new laws it wont hundred percent change it but at least it a law and i dont think people would want to break the laws]]> 2019-11-14 15:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411256602 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411260293 Tyekera:  I totally agree with this law so many teens nowadays are smoking tobacco, e-cigs and vaping products. No one knows the long term effect of these, since the age restriction increased it will be harder for kids to get their hands on them. Stores won't risk it to sell to minors knowing the consequences ]]> 2019-11-14 15:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411260293 jchunhealthed https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411260569 i agree that this is a step in the right direction but wonder whether raising this legal age can actually CHANGE smoking behavior.  what else do you think should be done to reduce the number of teens that smoke?]]> 2019-11-14 15:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411260569 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411262824 Jahnavin: I agree with Tajae because I also feel that since they changed the law for the age to purchase tobacco then less kids will smoke and kids wouldnt want to break the law just to smoke tobacco ]]> 2019-11-14 15:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411262824 jchunhealthed https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/cdgdp8fv4nuq/wish/411263278 Good points.
