The City of Fremont is seeking feedback from its residents on permanently banning electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) retailers, lounges, and vapor bars within city limits. Weigh in on Fremont Open City Hall, our online forum.
On Feb. 11, the Fremont City Council established a temporary ban on e-cigarette retailers, lounges, and vapor bars. The City would like input as to whether this temporary ban should be permanent.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that may resemble smoking a cigarette. It is only minimally regulated by state law and the health risks of inhaling the vapors are unknown. The City of Fremont currently has eight retail establishments that sell e-cigarettes and include e-cigarette lounges and vapor bars.
