As the Election Day results begin to finalize, the second biggest question on Oregon voter’s minds is what measures passed or not. From the future of Oregon campaigns to decriminalizing stigmatized drugs, Oregon’s measures are pitching a variety of controversial but trendsetting ideas.

Measure 107 has been passed with a 78.8% Yes voting. 

Measure 108: Tobacco and Nicotine Tax. Measure Type: LRSS. Passed: Y/N 

Measure 108 acts as a solution to many tobacco related addictions as this measure will increase cigarette tax from $1.33 to $3.33 per pack; increase tax on e-cigarettes or any other inhaled nicotine products at a rate of 65% of the wholesale price; and will use increased tax money on nicotine products towards funding the Oregon Health Authority for medical and health programs.
