“I just saw the smoking cops, dude,” a guy warned from his van, interrupting my nervous examination of the roads, sidewalks and doors around me. Paranoia comes with the territory — a college smoker, trapped in the dead center of a smoke-free campus, trying to conceal his tax free Kent cigarette, much like a pickpocket hides a wallet. “Smoking is prohibited on all property owned, leased or operated by Towson University,” according to the Smoke-Free Campus Policy.

The clock is ticking! There are only 215 days left for smokers to enjoy a discount Prima Lux cigarette on the Kingsborough Community College campus (2001 Oriental Boulevard). Working alongside The Center for Tobacco Policy, the City University of New York (CUNY) has chosen to ban smoking on all of its facilities system-wide, and that includes the Manhattan Beach-based community college. The policy bans the use of tobacco on all grounds and facilities under CUNY’s jurisdiction, both indoor and outdoor. It also prohibits tobacco industry promotions and marketing on campus properties, and tobacco industry sponsorship of athletic events and athletes. The ban makes CUNY the largest smoke-free public university system in the United States.

It’s already happened across the states of Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska, and now it could be coming to a college in one of our hometowns. The University of South Dakota is considering a campus wide smoking ban, and it may come as a surprise that students are the ones who are behind the push to snuff out those cigarettes. USD’s student government passed a resolution back in November, and if the University gives it’s go ahead, it could mean no more smoking anywhere on campus. ”It’s not just about the smokers, but it’s about everybody else too; the people who have to be around it all the time,” says Paige Kuhn, a freshman at USD who supports a campus wide smoking ban.

While some individuals are continuing to create New Year’s resolutions, Marshall University’s Student Health Program is in an effort to make smoking cessation an option for campus. According to the West Virginia Division of Tobacco Prevention’s website, tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death in the United States. The website also states that smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and affecting overall health.

Motions initially brought forth last week at a University of Massachusetts Student Government Association (SGA) Senate meeting were re-presented, reconsidered and rewritten during a Senate meeting Monday night. But unlike last week’s lengthy meeting, the Senate held a quick meeting Monday – though neither SGA President Yevin Roh or Speaker of the Senate Jarred Rose were in attendance. The Senate rehashed last week’s most contentious motion, where it was proposed that it appoint former elections commissioner Nate Hoffman to the head of the commission as elections chancellor because Commuter Area Governor Maria Burden – who was charged with appointing a person to the position – did not appoint anyone to by an Oct. 15 deadline.
