U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and U.S. Senator Tim Kaine have expressed approval for a new rule issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning ID requirements for purchasing tobacco products at retail establishments. This rule, set to take effect on September 30, is part of the Tobacco-Free Youth Act, legislation introduced by McConnell and Kaine that raised the minimum age to buy all tobacco products from 18 to 21.
