(Iowa City, IA) -- Iowa City is lifting a moratorium on new tobacco permits.
The ban put in place in May while Council debated options to control the number of tobacco retailers was set to expire at year's end.
Council is approving a zoning code change banning tobacco and vape shops within 500 feet of a school property, and requiring 500-feet of separation between retailers selling tobacco.
