The topic of Not Higher centers around the advocacy for keeping the legal age for purchasing tobacco and other nicotine products at 18 years old, rather than raising it to 21. This is a significant issue as it pertains to public health and youth access to harmful substances. Recent trends in public health research have highlighted the risks associated with nicotine use, especially among young adults.
Key issues and themes in the petitions include the argument that raising the legal age may not effectively deter youth from accessing these products and that adults aged 18-20 should have the right to make their own choices regarding tobacco and nicotine use. One notable petition argues that military personnel under 21 should not be prohibited from purchasing these products when they are legally permitted to serve their country.
