<br /> Sec.26-750.-Purpose.
<br /> I Because the city recognizes that many persons under the age of 4421 years purchase or otherwise obtain,
<br /> possess, and use tobacco,tobacco products,and tobacco-related devices, and such sales,possession, and use are
<br /> violations of both state and federal laws; and because studies,which are accepted and adopted,have shown that
<br /> most smokers begin smoking before they have reached the age of 4-821 years and that those persons who reach
<br /> the age of 4421 years without having started smoking are significantly less likely to begin smoking;and because
<br /> smoking has been shown to be the cause of several serious health problems which subsequently place a financial
<br /> burden on all levels of government; this article shall be intended to regulate the sale,possession and use of
<br /> Ordinance #21-21
