Nitro Fired Up Over Smoking Ban

Nitro, W.V., might leave Kanawha County's health department over a smoking ban.

At issue is whether the Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center should be exempt from the anti-smoking regulation, which was enacted by the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department. Nitro says yes; the health department, not so much.

Nitro's plan would switch the entire county from a split between Kanawha and Putnam, which is the case now, to placing the city completely into the Putnam County health department.
