(Olympia, WA)  --  A bill that would raise the minimum legal smoking age in Washington is scheduled for a hearing this week by a House panel.  The current legal minimum age to smoke tobacco products is 18, and the measure would raise it to 21.  Supporters of the bill say it would reduce smoking and lead to a reduction in smoking-related deaths in Washington.  The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in the House Health Care & Wellness Committee.
