I think there's a couple things going on here:
It's not hyperbole to say that vaping is an epidemic in the high schools nationwide. I read one local news article about how kids are so addicted that they're unable to get through one class without sneaking off to the bathroom for a vape. So they want to address that.
Also, the writing on the wall seems pretty clear that the nation is heading for marijuana legalization. Trump is open to it, and even John Boehner is lobbying for marijuana firms now. It's a matter of when, not if. If the tobacco age is 21, that will make it easier to make the age for marijuana the same.
