Washington style anti cigarette law eyed for Oregon
Washington's drastic cigarette ban is to be introduced in the Oregon legislature by Representative McDonald of Multnomah county. The measure would make selling cigarettes a misdemeanor and bar sales to boys, mirroring Washington's law which forbids cigarette sales and even papers, forcing smokers to seek options outside the state. Supporters see it as a public health move, with tobacco interests likely opposing. The session is expected to feature debate on the proposal alongside local news items.
