Will a Senate Bill Weaken the Clean Air Act?

A bill in the State Senate would allow smoke shops operating before the most recent version of the Clean Air Act took effect to go back to allowing smoking in their shops. Outer southeast Portland Representative Mike Schaufler says only adults who visit the smoke shops would be effected by the change. The bill would allow cigar sampling in smoke shops in malls or business complexes that have their own ventilation systems. Oregon Public Health Director, Doctor Mel Kohn says he’s very concerned that the bill weaken the Clean Air Act.
