The Brook Park City Council in Ohio has temporarily suspended the issuance of any licenses to electronic cigarette shops and related entities for a period of 12 months.

Orcutt told the council: "This is just a 12-month moratorium." "I believe this will be ample time to review and study the ordinances of Brook Park so that we can properly zone these types of establishments.


MP Mencini stated that he does not oppose the businesses located in Brook Park.


Mencini stated, "I believe what we are seeing here is a continuation of progress by seeking out larger businesses to aid us, which will bring in some income." He additionally stated that he received feedback from residents regarding a nearby e-cigarette store located in "one of our main corners.


Welcome them to Brook Park, but I believe they should be designated to specific areas.
