Smoking Stations: Benefit or not?

Hi everyone, This is Milica Dabic posting on smoking stations and the disadvantages of these smoking areas that Sheridan is trying to enforce. Although I understand why they are making them I do not feel it is right. We are all old enough to make our own decisions or else we wouldn't be in a collage environment spending thousands of dollars a year just to come here.

During every 3 hour class as you know we are able to leave for one break usually only 10 or 15 minutes at most. If during that break it takes me 6 minutes to walk one way to the smoking area and 6 minutes back that only leaves me with 3 minutes to smoke my cigarette. This also then leaves me with no time to buy a coffee or a snake. Also most of the time I return to class late due to the minimal amount of smoking areas. This “smoke free campus” is actually cheating me out of my education that I spend thousands of dollars on every year. What do you think?
