The Austin City Council passed a one-year electronic cigarette moratorium to ban e-cigarette use in public spaces and inside businesses 4-3 Monday.

The council voted 4-3 in favor of the moratorium at its last meeting, with Council Members Steve King, Janet Anderson, Roger Boughton and Jeremy Carolan in favor and Judy Enright, Jeff Austin and Michael Jordal against. An ordinance for a moratorium requires a unanimous vote during its first reading and a simple majority on its second reading.
