Hey fellow students, this is a post by Courtney Wright. Many
pro-nicotine students believe that the shelters on campus are to solve the
issue of second-hand smoke. The rationale is really that the school is trying
to make wide open spaces smoke-free in order to better promote healthy
behaviors.
Still you
will find students who don’t use the shelters are either standing out around
them or still walking around campus with lit cigarettes. So non-smokers are
still forced to deal with the smell and health risks of walking through clouds
of smoke.
If the
school was to just ban smoking anywhere on school property this problem would
be solved. The school should start to
provide more aids to people to help them try to quit as well. Providing
nicotine patches, gum, as well as prescriptions from the health center for
things like Champax and Zyban would help reinforce a smoke-free environment.
