Regulations on E-cigarette and Tobacco Shops in Denison City

Aug.06.2024
Regulations on E-cigarette and Tobacco Shops in Denison City
Texas city of Denison faces increasing applications for e-cigarette and tobacco shops, prompting efforts to regulate public health concerns.

According to a report by KXII on August 6th, the city of Denison, Texas in the United States has been receiving increasing applications to open e-cigarette and tobacco shops. Mary Tate, Director of Development Services for Denison, stated that currently there are no regulations regarding the location of e-cigarette shops in the city. Authorities are working to establish rules to ensure a decrease in public health and safety risks, as e-cigarettes are considered harmful to health and easily accessible.


It has been reported that relevant departments are seeking opinions from city council members on possible regulations. Two alternative proposals are being considered: a complete ban on e-cigarettes and tobacco shops, or requiring a "Conditional Use Permit" (CUP) in certain zones. Councilwoman Tate mentioned that both options would require a significant amount of notification to all surrounding businesses.


We just want to ensure that we are taking appropriate measures to reduce risk by placing stores in areas allowed by the municipal government, rather than near places like schools or churches.


Lawmakers agreed to consider the second option, which involves implementing zoning regulations for these shops. She also stated that the city government will continue to work with existing vendors, and that this proposal is simply an effort by the city government to demonstrate "intention and strategy" in these locations. All of this is still in the discussion phase.
