BRIDGEPORT — Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em — and if you are at least 21 years old, according to a proposed local law heading to the City Council. The council’s Ordinance Committee this week voted 4 to 3 to make Bridgeport the second municipality in Connecticut to raise the age limit for purchasing cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other natural or synthetic tobacco products from 18 to 21. Hartford was the first in the state to enact similar legislation in October. “What we are proposing is really to restrict the access of youths ... to these products,” Maritza Bond, Bridgeport’s health director, told the committee.
