<p>I’m surprised to hear that smoking is allowed in individual’s rooms. My son has been at Wake for 2 years and I know he hates being around smoke—he has never mentioned anything about people smoking inside. When I was in dorms, I never smelled tobacco smoke (or any other kind). There are ashtrays on the outsides of all the buildings, I just assumed that they were there for people to extinguish before entering a building as all buildings were smoke free.</p>
