The City of Mineral Wells is gathering community feedback following recent discussions by the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council about a possible zoning amendment related to vape shops, smoke shops and similar businesses. This proposed discussion focuses on vape and smoke-related establishments with the exclusion of cigar shops. Local law enforcement and Mineral Wells ISD have reported increased vape and smoke-related issues among youth, and many Texas cities have adopted similar regulations.
No ordinance has been proposed or adopted. This survey is meant only to understand how residents feel about potentially regulating where new vape or smoke-related businesses may operate—whether through a citywide prohibition on new shops (with existing ones allowed to remain) or by limiting new locations to certain zoning districts. This survey is not a formal vote but a way to share general sentiment and concerns. Please note: The survey is limited to one response per device.
