If you are a Marine under age 21 and stationed in Hawaii, you will not be able to buy tobacco products at the PX. You may also face punishment if you are caught smoking while underage, though Headquarters, Marine Corps is still trying to determine how that will play out.
A survey conducted in 2011 found that nearly 31 percent of Marines smoke, the highest rate of all the Armed Forces. The Marine Corps also had the highest rates of smokeless tobacco use of all military branches at 21.3 percent.
