MORGANTOWN -- Smoking and a proposed smoking ban have been a topic of conversation in Monongalia County for months.
Those issues came up again Thursday at the county's Board of Health meeting.
Board members met in executive session for about an hour.
Then, a public comment period started.
The president of a new West Virginia University student organization called "Tobacco Free Mountaineers", made a presentation.
Chris Roberts says he wore an air quality device on Saturday to test four Morgantown bars.
He says he found the air quality to be hazardous.
A representative for the bar owners also spoke up, defending the bar's and smokers rights.
There is no word yet when a proposed indoor smoking ban will be placed on the board's agenda or go to vote.
