Stricter Baytown ordinance closes multiple smoke shops
Baytown shut at least five smoke shops after a strengthened city ordinance targeted synthetic drugs. The amended rules expand chemical lists, regulate packaging and display, and prohibit deceptive practices. Det. Aaron Crowell and Asst. City Atty. Deanie King led the effort, noting shops like Puff Puff Pass and Up In Smoke closed as the measure drove illicit products underground and harder to obtain. See city page 6.
