CASAA is unable to issue full Local Alerts--way too many of them and there simply isn't the time or manpower to gather contact information, etc., especially on a short timeframe. However, for a while, we're going to take the barebones information that crosses our desk and post it on the official CASAA Facebook page when possible and here on ECF, and then look to members to share in appropriate groups/forums.)

The one vape shop in Montgomery was already aware of this and is going to be fighting tonight.

The bill would grandfather in existing cigar and hookah bars, but no mention is made of e-cig stores. Plus, the store is moving next month, so even if they were grandfathered in, the new store wouldn't be allowed to permit vaping.
