IDAHO KEY FACTS In 2015, 30.4% of Idaho high school youth reported currently using any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. Among Idaho high school youth, 9.7% reported currently smoking cigarettes. PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN IDAHO There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. It causes stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults. While Idaho does not have a comprehensive statewide law that prohibits smoking in workplaces, restaurants, and bars, efforts have continued in the state to protect people from secondhand smoke in other locations. Upon request, the state provides research, data and analysis, and scientific consultation to communities, multiunit housing operators, hospitals, businesses, and colleges and universities that want to protect residents from secondhand smoke. On August 17, 2016, the University of Idaho established a tobacco-free campus, making 5 colleges or universities in the state tobacco-free. Additionally, the state’s public health districts, tribes, and the Idaho Commission of Hispanic Affairs (ICHA) have partnered to increase the amount of smoke-free multiunit housing authorities in the state.
