Everyone’s been talking about texting and driving, but there are a few new laws to know about in 2020.

• Cigarettes & Vaping

  The minimum age goes from 18 to 21 to buy cigarettes or vaping products, the same as alcohol.

• Prescpriptions

  Share

  The Tampa Bay Times reports that law HB 831 will now make it required that your prescription is sent electronically. It's one of those things you just kind of assumed was the law, but apparently not!
