The Kansas Legislature has passed a bill that raises the minimum age for buying, possessing or consuming tobacco products in the state from 18 to 21. If the legislation is signed into law by Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, the state could gain $2.1 million in federal funding for tobacco enforcement and lose an estimated $7.6m in state sales tax and cigarette stamp revenue. The Kansas Senate approved the measure with a 28-11 vote. Earlier this month, the Kansas House passed it on a 68-53 vote.
