No smoking on college campus?- Any place else?

Campus police actually sit in the parking lot and look for offenders.

Most campuses have private roads. As such, they can enforce their policies even on the roadway. Smokers have the ability to drive on other roads, etc. to not violate the policy. It has been upheld in state and federal courts.

I happen not to agree with the policy, since it is extreme and putative. But they never asked my opinion when they did it. One more example of schools being forced to play mommy and daddy instead of focusing on education.

Hey, I'm at Missouri S&T, (formerly UM-Rolla), we've got a smoking ban, as well as a city wide no smoking in bars, etc.. I can say the ban on campus seems to be universally ignored. The campus pd and security are far too busy writing parking tickets.

lol... I'm at UMSL now for my second degree and they spend alot of time on parking and smoking infractions... murder and robbery require FAR too much paperwork!

Good luck at S&T, we hire quite a few people from there. Check out Hunter Engineering during career days! Great school!
