Box Elder passes no smoking ban  

The Box Elder County Commission passed a smoking ban Tuesday that prohibits smoking at the county fairgrounds and on county courthouse property. The ban starts immediately.

"That might be real tough," said Commissioner Jay Hardy. "I don't know how many cowboys still smoke."

There are already county and federal rules banning smoking in county vehicles and inside public buildings.

The new regulation does not affect chewing tobacco, Hardy said.
