Lilburn places 60-day moratorium on vaping device sales

The Lilburn City Council has voted unanimously to impose a 60-day moratorium on businesses selling alternative nicotine products due to an inordinate amount of business inquiries related to vape shops, or businesses that sell alternative nicotine products. The moratorium will allow the city to review and recommend necessary regulations. Once drafted, the regulations will be presented to the city council for consideration.

For the purposes of this resolution, “alternative nicotine products” means an electronic product or device that employs an electronic heating element, power source, electronic circuit, battery, or other electronic, chemical or mechanical means to produce a vapor that delivers nicotine to the person inhaling from the device, including e-cigarettes, e-cigars, and e-pipes, whether manufactured, distributed, marketed, or sold as an e-cigarette, e-cigar or e-pipe.
