Weekly fire alarms for smoking suggests there’s a degree of tolerance for in-dorm smoking among students – or, at the very least, a culture that’s unwilling to rein in smoking in the dorms even though the cost of refusing to snitch means having to evacuate the dorm at 4 a.m. in February in Poughkeepsie.
