💼 Business
Brandon Long closed his Ames smoke shop on December 31 due to a new law that took effect January 1—this law imposed a 40% tax on smoking devices and a $1,500 yearly permit fee that nearly ended his business near its tenth anniversary; Rachel Gulick reported that another local shop also closed and faced layoffs because of the law.
