The Philadelphia Board of Health has “provisionally approved” a regulation regarding tobacco retailing within the city. This regulation would limit the number of “tobacco retailer” licenses to 1 per 1000 residents in a district. The city’s definition of “tobacco retailer” includes vapor shops. Approval of this regulation will effectively impose a moratorium on new vapor shops opening in over 3/4th of the city.

Meh. Between FDA rules that will restrict them to being "retailers" rather than "manufacturers" and PA's ridiculous 40% tax, new vape shops aren't really a thing anymore.

force them to close (FDA reg) and keep them from opening. (state BS like this) equals back to smoking in there eyes equals Big T payments from that agreement.
