Tennessee vape shop FDA compliance bill

The Ashland City Town Council approved on second and final reading an ordinance regulating smoke-, tobacco- and vape-related businesses at their Aug. 11 meeting.

The new regulations include restricting new smoke and vape shops to industrial areas zoned either I-1 or I-2. It also defines such businesses as anyone devoting more than 20 percent of its sales floor to the sale, promotion, storage and distribution of such products. 

The ordinance also forbids such shops to operate within 1,000 feet of a school, religious center, community center, hospital or anywhere children normally gather or within 500 feet of another smoke shop.

Businesses already existing in areas not zoned I-1 or I-2 will not have to move but will not be allowed to expand their businesses in those areas.
