Intro: For nearly two years, a fight has been ongoing in Teton County, Wyoming, to ban smoking from bars and restaurants.
Tuesday morning, county commissioners voted to institute a smoking ban.
Nearly 40 people were in the chamber at 9 a.m. for the two hour meeting.
Commissioners began taking public comment, most from emails in favor of the ban. Commissioners then discussed the issue for the second hour.

Those in attendance cheered the decision. Many in the community also felt that it was the right thing to do stating those living in Jackson are about being healthy.
