Trinidad PM proposes raising legal drinking, smoking age to 21

Trinidad and Tobago's PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced a proposal to raise the legal age for alcohol and tobacco from 18 to 21, and for cannabis and gambling from 18 to 25. The proposal is at an early stage, with legislative details and parliamentary support uncertain. This signals a potential shift in domestic public-health policy, but has no immediate market impact.
