<p>Does tobacco use on your campus bother you? Dixie State University in Utah made the bold move to ban tobacco on campus. Check out the article: [The</a> Independent | St. George & So.

<p>When touring colleges, we were really surprised to see as many kids smoking as we did. Yes, bothered us a lot, my S in particular. HATES being around smoke, especially smelling it on kids in the dorm.</p>
<p>I work for a college and almost never see kids smoking here. But we toured one college with my older son and nearly every student there was smoking - and it was accepted students day. Ugh. He passed on that one.</p>
<p>Tobacco use of any kind was banned on S1’s campus last summer.</p>
<p>Footballmom - that’s excellent! I believe your son’s campus is DH’s alma mater. </p>
<p>I was shocked at the one school. I know it’s artsy but holy cow.</p>
<p>At my sons’ school, I have never seen anyone smoke in the last 8 years.
The do NOT have a smoke free campus.
I am a smoker; but never smoke on their campus for lack of fellow idiots.</p>
<p>Even UNC-CH has a policy prohibiting smoking indoors, on the medical campus, and within 100 feet of campus buildings.</p>

<p>I go to a smoke-free campus. It’s a bunch of crap. People smoke all the time. I <em>hate</em> it and no one seems to do anything about it.</p>
<p>We thought our son’s campus was smoke-free, too, until we heard the campus police are refusing to enforce the new rules. It’s disgusting.</p>
<p>FWIW, Dixie’s move was not that bold. Utah state law already prohibits smoking indoors and within 25 feet of doors and windows. Also, most of the students at Dixie don’t smoke for religious reasons. Going smoke-free was a pretty easy next step.</p>
<p>This must be a regional thing. I have never seen, nor has my daughter mentioned, a single person smoking on her campus. Drinking, sure, but smoking? No way.</p>
<p>My D’s campus recently went smoke-free. I just visited and the new signs were up everywhere. That said, I don’t expect smokers to stop smoking because of a few signs. And yes, Massmomm, people still smoke. According to the CDC it’s 19-percent over 18. Roughly, one in five.</p>
