In December 2019, the US federal Tobacco 21 (T21) law passed to raise the minimum legal purchase age for tobacco products from 18 to 21 years. Preliminary evidence suggests that the T21 law will restrict youth access to tobacco products, leading to decreases in tobacco use over their lifetime. This study expands the science through the use of systems modeling by linking decreases in youth tobacco use in El Paso County, Texas, due to the T21 law implementation, to potential cardiovascular health (CVH) benefits and health care cost reductions. Using a smoking behavior and cardiovascular disease agent-based model, we projected the T21 law’s long-term effects on smoking prevalence and CVH outcomes in El Paso County, Texas. The estimated smoking prevalence in El Paso County, Texas, decreased by 2.7% among 18–24 year olds and by 5.2% among 25–44 year olds in 20 years with T21 law implementation (p |
