City Council pushes
to raise minimum age
for tobacco purchase
Councilmember
Grand dismisses
need for student
input on bill
By ANDREW HIYAMA
Daily Staff Reporter
A resolution raising the mini-
mum age to purchase tobacco
from 18 to 21 passed its initial read
with only one dissenting vote at
Monday’s Ann Arbor City Council
meeting. The proposed legislation
will still need to be approved by the
council in a meeting next month
before being fully accepted.
The proposed ordinance would
raise the age at which Ann Arbor
retailers may sell tobacco prod-
ucts and e-cigarettes from 18 to 21,
while also decriminalizing under-
age tobacco possession of both.
In a phone interview prior to
the meeting, Councilmember Julie
Grand (D–Ward 3) — who has been
the leading proponent of the reso-
lution — explained that, though the
ordinance would explicitly affect
those between ages 18 and 20, it
would also indirectly target tobac-
co usage by younger teenagers.
“Most 15 to 17-year-olds get
their tobacco products from 18 and
19-year-olds or other similar social
sources, so this ordinance helps
block that source,” Grand said.
“What it also does for the 18 to
20-year-olds is it provides an onset
barrier when those individuals
are most likely to be moving from
experimental tobacco use to regu-
lar or habitual tobacco use.”
Pointing to California, Hawaii
and Massachusetts as examples,
Grand said she hoped a municipal
ordinance would eventually pave
the way for other city governments
in Michigan as well as the state
government.
When asked why the ordinance
was being pushed during the sum-
mer, when most University of
Michigan students — who would
be directly impacted by the reso-
lution — are absent from campus
and unable to participate in public
debate over the issue, Grand was
dismissive of student input, say-
ing she has the backing of a broad
coalition comprising local medical
and public health professionals.
“My main interest is develop-
ing this model and moving it out to
other communities,” Grand said.
“As much as I would like to get
the input from the University stu-
dents, that’s not my primary goal.
And honestly, if they were against
the ordinance, I really don’t think
it would change my mind.”
While affected, University stu-
dents would still be able to take
a free city bus line to Meijer on
Ann Arbor-Saline Road, just out-
side city limits and therefore not
subject to city ordinances, and
purchase tobacco products there.
Grand pointed out that in past
cases, even if neighboring munici-
palities did not pass a similar
ordinance, there would still be a
decline in teenage tobacco usage.
All council members, except
Jack Eaton (D–Ward 4), voted to
support the first reading of the bill,
moving it forward to be discussed
at a second reading in the future,
before a final vote will be held.
Councilmember Eaton said that
he thought the bill was a good idea
but that he could not support it
because of the fact that it violated
state law.
“I am vividly aware of the cost
of smoking, but I can’t support
this ordinance,” Eaton said. “The
Michigan Tobacco Products Tax
Act says that we shall not impose
any new requirements or prohi-
bitions pertaining to the sale of
tobacco, and that’s exactly what
we’re doing here. I think that
when there’s a state law that tells
us not to do something, we’re ill-
advised to do it regardless of how
passionate we are about the intent
behind the law.”
Councilmembers Jane Lumm
(I–Ward 2) and Graydon Krapohl
(D–Ward 4) also expressed con-
cerns about the conflict the ordi-
nance would create with state law
but voted to support the first read-
ing.
Councilmember Sumi Kaila-
sapathy (D–Ward 1) asked City
Attorney Stephen Postema what
the legal ramifications of passing
such an ordinance would be, but
Postema said he wasn’t prepared
to answer that question at the
time.
