Dumb post. Dumb poster.
Apparently the government believes humans don't stop developing until 21 so having legal alcohol before that age is considered bad.
Not true. It's their opinion that at 21, most people have attained the ability to handle the responsibility that comes with alcohol - that is, not drinking and driving, and it's pretty accurate, though 18 year olds drink regardless.
Yeah IKR, being able to smoke at 18 is stupid and should be 21.
The difference is that smoking does not impair your ability to do anything. We consider development to be complete at 18 (hence 18 is the age of adulthood), so choosing to impact your health is a responsibility that comes with that. Smoking is fine at 18 years of age.
