Smokers Under 18 in Iowa Now Outlaws

By Don Terry “New York Times Service”

Des Moines – Young smokers beware: On Monday it became illegal in Iowa for anyone under 18 to smoke a cigarette.

If caught smoking, chewing or even possessing tobacco by the police, an under aged offender could be fined as much as 100, yanked off the street or out of the shopping mall and taken home in the backseat of a squad car.

The law is part of the state’s campaign to reduce tobacco use greatly among all lowans by 2000. The police are charged with enforcing the law, but some are skeptical. On their crowded list of priorities, the measure shares a spot with the neighbor’s cat stuck in a tree.

“We’re too busy to enforce a law like that”, Sergeant Gail Dunn of the Des Moines Police Department said with a sigh.

Michael J. Coverdale of the Iowa Department of Public Health has heard the grumbling, and his terse response is, “The law is the law”.

But for the first year or so, Mr. Coverdale said, he thinks the police will simply inform under aged smokers about the law and confiscate their cigarettes.

“I doubt the police would actually arrest a juvenile for smoking”, he said. “But they certainly will have the opinion to”.

Forty-four states have laws – rarely enforced – that bar selling cigarettes to minors from possessing tobacco, said Tim Hensley of the Centers for Disease Control’s office on Smoking and Health, in Atlanta.

“But I’m not aware of any other state that actually says they are prohibited from smoking”, he said.

The grown-ups in Des Moines say the new law is for the “kids’ own good”, because, after all, Mr. Coverdale said, “cigarettes are often a gateway to other drugs that are illegal”.

The kids are not so sure.

It’s stupid”, declared Wendi Spuehler, 17, who smokes a half-pack of cigarettes a day. I’m supposed to be an American; I’m supposed to be able to do whatever I want. If I choose to ruin my lungs, it’s my choice and not the cops’ ”.

Some police officers in Iowa are not too keen about the law, either.

In Davenport, Lieutenant Michael C. Hammes said he doubted that the measure would “scare very many kids” away from cigarettes.

I started smoking when I was 13”, he said. “My parents didn’t scare me from smoking. And I feared my father more than I feared the police, and he couldn’t stop me”.

The tobacco industry, which has been under attack in the courts over liability in smokers’ deaths, has no argument with the law. Even the Tobacco Institute, an industry lobby group in Washington, supports it.
