PAYETTE â To raise (the legal age to buy tobacco products), or not to raise? Thatâs the question which the Payette City Council sought to answer during its regular meeting on Monday.
Back on the agenda for its second reading was Ordinance 1487, which would amend Payette City Code 9.56.010 to raise the legal age to purchase or possess tobacco products in the city from 18 years of age to 21.
Councilor Daniel Lopez observed that the existing code pre-dates the marketing of e-cigarettes and similar products.
âOur current ordinance doesnât have any reflection on vaping products,â said Lopez.
Sgt. Brad Coen, who serves as a school resource officer for the Payette School District, told the council other than a handful of calls about tobacco possession, issues arenât widespread at schools.
