During a special meeting, the Town Council passed Ordinance No. 1961, 5-0, eliminating tobacco shops and hookah lounges and electronic cigarette/vapor product shops as a permitted use in the C-2 commercial district under the town s zoning ordinance.Â
Cigar lounges are considered a permitted use, according to the ordinance.Â
