There could be a compromise on a proposal to add e-cigarettes to Appleton’s smoking ban.
The Board of Health wants to look at exempting vaping shops from the rule, after store owners spoke out.
Ald. Cathy Spears is the author of the initial plan. She says if that’s going to ensure vaping isn’t allowed in public areas, she’s willing to look at it.
The board agreed to put the issue on hold, so the city attorney’s office has time to put the possible change in writing.
The city exempted a downtown cigar shop on College Avenue from the smoking ban. It was put in place in 2005.
