Mayor's Press Office 312.744.3334
“Congratulations to Senator Morrison, Representative Lilly and the Illinois General Assembly for passing a bill to raise the age for purchasing tobacco to 21 statewide. Since Chicago took this step two years ago, teen smoking in our great city has fallen to the lowest levels ever recorded. I urge Governor Rauner to sign this bill into law so all of Illinois can breathe easier.”
