Shit really? I somehow completely missed this one when did this happen?
It was 2020. It's honestly been interesting to see. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31348515/ is a study from before 2020 stating that 4% less of 18-20 year olds smoked when the age limit is increased to 21. I couldn't find any specifics on Washington state though.
