What's the comparison between alcohol and tobacco?
I can smoke 20 Marlboros and drive home safely.
Drink 20 Miller Lites and you can take out a family

Forces and ideas you couldn't begin to understand. Hell on earth, more or less. Nuff said.

according to the leftist progressives
they are not full grown
everyone has seen those 18 and above described as youth
when it comes to gun violence
we also know that they consider up to age 26 as a child
under obamacares rules
the only place they deem them adult is when
they vote
As a psychologist I can tell you there is no psychological or behavioral condition which should not equate the age one can join the military and the age that anyone that age or up should not be able to vote, by alcohol or tobacco products. Our young soldiers are very disturbed at the disparity in rights.

You sure do spout your left wing propaganda to the hilt. What little development that we as psychologists consider for that age group has little to do with the physical development of the brain. Of all the age related development of the brain, what tends to be believed and taught the use of weed is considered worse during that age period. The use of alcohol for the 18 up group is destructive to all with the differences mostly the different physiology of the individual brain development. Genetics plays a big part in the variation of development than the age difference between 18 and older people. For example, a person can become an alcoholic with his first few drinks, but that is a rarity, and that can occur at any age before or after 18. Dr. Forest Tenant did studies on the largest captive group of addicted individuals than any other Dr. You should read the results of his study done in the early
As usual, you right wing parrots prove your brain will never develop beyond the ability to mimic and emote.
Many parents of 20-somethings worry that their offspring haven't yet found a career path, gotten married or become financially independent.
These parents should chill out, experts say.
Biologists, psychologists and sociologists are increasingly seeing the years between 18 to 29 as a distinct phase of human development, worthy of much more study.
Recent research into how the brain develops suggests that people are better equipped to make major life decisions in their late 20s than earlier in the decade. The brain, once thought to be fully grown after puberty, is still evolving into its adult shape well into a person's third decade, pruning away unused connections and strengthening those that remain, scientists say.
"Until very recently, we had to make some pretty important life decisions about education and career paths, who to marry and whether to go into the military at a time when parts of our brains weren't optimal yet," says neuroscientist Jay Giedd at the National Institute of Mental Health, whose brain-imaging studies of thousands of young people have yielded many of the new insights. Postponing those decisions makes sense biologically, he says. "It's a good thing that the 20s are becoming a time for self-discovery."
Such findings are part of a new wave of research into "emerging adulthood," the years roughly from 18 to 29, which psychologists, sociologists and neuroscientists increasingly see as a distinct life stage. The gap between adolescence and full adulthood is becoming ever wider as more young people willingly or because of economic necessity prolong their education and postpone traditional adult responsibilities. As recently as the 1960s, the average age of first marriage for women in the U.S. was 20, and men 22. Today, the average is 26 for women and 28 for men.

70s if it is still on line.
Apparently your or addiction challenged as you are economics challenges, both of which your understanding is minimal.
As most adults know -- 18, 19, 20's are NOT adults.
They're like preschoolers or kindergartners for real ADULTHOOD.
****, most 21s are not real ADULTS either.
Anyway, smoking is for the weak willed who selfishly slowly kill themselves.
I believe the government definition should be the same across the board, voting, smoking, drinking, or joining the military. Every one continues to develop in judgment and intelligence with age up to an age of old age decline.

The Wall Street Journal, that bastion of left wing propaganda...
Dr. Forest Tenant...do you mean Dr. Forest Tennant, the former National Football League's drug adviser who resigned after allegations he falsified drug tests? The same Dr. Forest Tennant who also was released as NASCAR drug adviser after he helped shorten the career of a Nascar driver, Tim Richmond?
I have a new Avatar for you....

Young people need health insurance just like everyone else. They generally won't use it much but they need it in case something really bad happens. Their risk is much lower so it is cheaper for them.
I do love when people say they are paying thousands for nothing. Apparently you believe that you are paying for absolutely nothing and all that money is going into someone's pocket. In truth you are paying for healthcare that is being used. It just may happen that you are not the one using it. That doesn't mean that you won't starting tomorrow. You could be diagnosed with cancer and then the astronomical bills begin to roll in. My late wife was healthy. She showed no signs of being sick and then all of a sudden she got these red spots all over her legs. She had leukemia. $1.3 million later, she died. It's insurance. Some people use it more than others. It's like when you drive a car. You may never be in an accident your entire life, but you have to have auto insurance. Some people use it a lot.

And for you it someday
Maybe
Any country that asks an 18 year old to die for it on foreign soil, is hypocritical to restrict that person from ANY legal substance.

You're an idiot if you think that me paying thousands for nothing is a matter of the greater good. More like lots of people are getting rich based on rigging the system. Learn something and stop being a peon.
