Health board to vote on smoking rule this week 

The Teton District Board of Health will likely vote this week on a rule that would bar smoking in all public buildings, bars, restaurants and ski resort lines.

Board members are expected to hear public comments and consider the smoke-free air rule during their meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the Teton County commissioners' chambers.

An overwhelming majority of comments county health manager Terri Gregory received were in favor of the rule.

The health department has received nearly 40 responses since the public comment period began at the end of January.
