‘Should the city of Astoria restrict homeowners from renting out rooms to tourists?’
“No. I sympathize.
When I travel, I like

EUGENE
—
Lane
County commissioners have
increased the legal age for
using and buying tobacco
products to 21.
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.
