Recently we have been updating members about a change to Pennsylvania state law that moved the purchase age of tobacco to 21 by June 2020. On December 20th that all went out the window when President Trump signed a new bill into law changing the national purchase age for tobacco products to 21.
The new minimum age applies to all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and vaping cartridges. 
What was unclear in the proposal, however, was when the change in the minimum age would be enacted. From the date of Trump signing the legislation, the FDA had six months to amend their policies, per Convenience Store News. 
After that, the minimum age change would take place within 90 days.
However, the FDA website now reads: “It is now illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product – including cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes – to anyone under 21.” And states that it was updated on Dec. 20.
The FDA also noted that more information will be available regarding the policy change as it becomes available. 
The following message was posted on the FDA website:
“On December 20, 2019, the President signed legislation to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and raise the federal minimum age of sale of tobacco products from 18 to 21 years. It is now illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product – including cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes – to anyone under 21. FDA will provide additional details on this issue as they become available.”
