According to a report by WCTI12 on March 21st, the government of Jacksonville, North Carolina voted on Tuesday, March 19th to impose stricter regulations on e-cigarette companies. Three months ago, the state reached a nearly $48 million agreement with the e-cigarette company Juul, with the funds being used for e-cigarette prevention programs.
The newly approved restrictions will prohibit future e-cigarette shops from operating in areas frequented by minors, such as schools and residential areas. Key areas include:
- E-cigarette, tobacco, and CBD businesses are not allowed within 500 feet of residential areas.
- They must also be at least 1,500 feet away from schools, daycare centers, or parks.
- Furthermore, they cannot be within 2,000 feet of another e-cigarette store. While existing e-cigarette stores in Jacksonville will not be affected by the new regulations, they are not exempt.
If any unforeseen circumstances (such as a fire) affect existing stores and their location violates the new restrictions, the store owners will need to obtain permission from the city government in order to rebuild.
