Stranglehold on Vape Stores

County Commissioners want to further tighten the proposed ordinance regulating vape and tobacco stores in Columbus County. The proposal viewed in Monday’s first reading called for any business with 75% of sales from vape products to be classified as a vape store. Commissioners amended the proposal to 25%.

The county’s ordinance could be one of the strictest in the state. The ordinance will be voted on at the next meeting.
