City Council to vote whether a hookah bar can open in Martinsville

MARTINSVILLE – A hookah bar could open in Uptown Martinsville. Hookah bars offer water pipes used to smoke tobacco specially made which comes in different flavors.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although many users think it is less harmful, hookah smoking has many of the same health risks as cigarette smoking.

Martinsville City Council will vote on January 22 whether two city men will be allowed to open one.
