“By the skin of its teeth, a proposal from Eagle High School seniors to ban smoking and vaping in cars and in the presence of minors was introduced as a bill in the House Health and Welfare Committee. The legislation survived a vote that would have send it back to the authors for a clearer definition of the word “vaping.” The bill could return for a full hearing in the coming weeks. With a rewrite, and help from Rep. Gayann DeMourdant, R-Eagle, the seniors decided to pick up fighting for the legislation. Rep. Bryan Zollinger, R-Idaho Falls, while applauding the student’s work, raised concerns about a vague definition of “vaping” in the proposal that did not specify tobacco products. He supported a motion to send the proposal back to the sponsors for clarification before it would be introduced. In a tie vote, the committee rejected sending the proposal back to the high school seniors.”
