Critiques

I found the history part of the article bias. It was a bias as to why using and smoking tobacco is terrible,making Tobacco 21 campaign essential. I felt the article more so explaining and convincing what was bad about smoking rather than actual facts about Tobacco 21 campaign --Hquesada22 (talk) 05:33, 8 February 2019 (UTC) The History of part could use more information on Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation.The history of the founders the nonprofit organization and their drive to create the nonprofit. And also the steps that led up to funding and making the Tobacco 21 campaign. --Hquesada22 (talk) 05:33, 8 February 2019 (UTC) The mission statement focused more on the negativity of the use of tobacco and its causes and the effects, rather than the mission/vision of the end goal, and action done by Tobacco 21 campaign. --Hquesada22 (talk) 05:33, 8 February 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bergmanucsd (talk • contribs) [reply]

Reads more like a propaganda piece than an encyclopedia article

When I first came across the page, it had no counter viewpoints whatsoever, which is insane and strange considering the minimum drinking age page has some. It did not list any 'science' outside of one study despite all of the studies and research against setting the limit at 21. Schwarbage (talk) 15:10, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwarbage This is how the media warps issues via information warfare. Dennis Blewett (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign ended??

The lede of the article currently states that Tobacco 21 ended after the 2020 federal budget was signed. However, the Tobacco 21 Facebook page has been active as recently as 2024 and their website says that they continue to advocate for state and city-level policy changes. IMO it's confused and misleading about the nature of Tobacco 21 (perhaps due to varied uses of the term in news articles, govt websites, legislation, etc.?). I'm going to try and rewrite the introduction to reflect the continued existence of Tobacco 21 and clarify its purpose. Leaving this note here as an explanation for what probably counts as a pretty major change, and to open up an avenue of discussion just in case I missed something.
