No vaping

in public

The Grant County Electronic Cigarette and Vaping Ordinance went into effect Jan. 1.

The ordinance restricts the sale, marketing, use and availability of electronic vapor devices and e-liquid.

In September, the Grant County Health District board unanimously adopted the new ordinance.

You now must be 18 or older to buy the devices or the e-liquid, with or without nicotine, in Grant County. And even if you’re old enough, you can’t use them in public places where cigarrettes are prohibited, except in “vape” shops.
