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.

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.
