Description

Wednesday’s ruling reversed a 2022 decision from Washington County Circuit Judge Andrew Erwin, who said the county had the power to regulate how sales are made but that only the state had the authority to ban products completely.

The Oregon Court of Appeals has upheld a Washington County ordinance barring the sale of flavored tobacco products, in a ruling that could have ramifications for a similar ban in Multnomah County.
