Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, from the tobacco state of Kentucky, on Monday unveiled federal legislation to raise the minimum age to purchase e-cigarettes and all other tobacco products in the U.S. from 18 to 21.

McConnell said on Monday that enacting this legislation is one of his “highest priorities.” As the keeper of the keys on the Senate floor, it’s all but certain his legislation will get a floor vote in the near future after it is vetted and debated in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.“Today, we are coming together to side with young people’s health.
