Lane County is the first county in Oregon to raise the age limit from 18. The ordinance was approved Tuesday by a 3-2 vote and applies countywide starting April 13, the Register-Guard reported. The ordinance is the latest in the Tobacco 21 campaign, an effort to pass similar local and state laws around the country. California and Hawaii have statewide laws setting the minimum age for tobacco purchase or use at 21, and Oregon lawmak- ers are considering doing the same. thought of active military members returning to Lane County to learn it is illegal for them to buy cigarettes. He had called for a grand- father clause that would allow anyone who turned age 18 before April 13 to be exempt from the new age limit. “You don’t criminalize an addiction,” Bozievich said. “You treat it.” During public comment, Tamara Miller of Eugene argued against such a clause. “If we are going to protect kids in this community, why not protect them all now?” she said. Commissioner Sid Leiken cast the other “no” vote, say- ing the legal age should be uniform across Oregon, and legislators are already pursu- ing the matter in Salem.
