The ordinance includes the banning of vaping wherever smoking is banned.

Business owners would also have to sell vape products behind the counter if the ordinance passes the final vote.

A couple of people in the audience had some concerns about who would enforce the new rules if the ordinance passes.

A second vote will be held in a few weeks.
