Sec. 46-152 (a). Definitions.

“Hookah bar” means an establishment that is a bar as defined above, whose business is devoted to the serving of Shisha products, and which serves only complimentary snacks. The hookah bar contains no kitchen facilities and has no access to kitchen facilities, catering, or food other than complimentary snacks. A hookah bar devotes a minimum of ten (10) percent of net floor space to the display, storage and sale of actual tobacco products, and does not permit the on-premises use of tobacco products not purchased on the premises. A hookah bar must contain a functioning walk-in commercial grade humidor with a minimum interior area of not less than one hundred (100) square feet and a smoke evacuation system adequate to ensure that smoke from its premises does not infiltrate into areas where smoking is prohibited. The system must be separate from the establishment’s HVAC system, vent to the exterior, and be approved by the city building department as having adequate capacity. No patron under the age of twenty-one (21) is allowed in a hookah bar. “Hookah bar” does not include a department or section of a larger commercial establishment.

Section 2. Section 46-152 (f) is amended to add Hookah bars as follows:

Sec. 46-152 (f). Exceptions.

Hookah bars as defined in sub-section (a). Hookah bar must satisfy all of the following:

The Hookah Bar must generate 10 (ten) percent or more of its quarterly gross revenue from the sale of alcohol beverages from on premises consumption.
The Hookah Bar must generate eighty (80) percent of its quarterly gross revenue from the sale of shisha for on premise consumption and from the sale of accessories used for the smoking of shisha.
The Hookah Bar shall not allow individuals under the age of twenty-one (21) to enter the premises.
Hookah bars shall post health warning signage that states: “Warning: Hookah smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other forms of cancer. Hookah tobacco (shisha) contains nicotine, tar and carcinogens. Hookah smoking is not a safe alternative to cigarette smoking.” The signage must be prominent, clearly visible and posted in every room where smoking is permitted. The signage must be written in forty-eight (48) inch font or greater. The warning must also be displayed prominently on each bar menu.

Section 3. The section, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this ordinance are severable. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid by a valid judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall not affect the validity of any other section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance. The city council declares that it is its intent that it would have enacted this ordinance without such invalid or unconstitutional provisions.

Section 4. The provisions of this ordinance repeal any prior ordinance or provision of the Gadsden City Code to the extent of any conflict.
