<p>as a student, i strongly disagree with this ban. I am very against smoking and will never do it myself, but i don’t think students should be denied basic rights. It won’t change air quality if a student is smoking on campus versus smoking a foot past the boundaries of campus. Additionally, tulane employs many people from the tulane community. These employees are often middle aged and may have longstanding addictions. There short breaks from work may not allow them enough time to walk off campus just to smoke. tulane really needs to rethink this. A poll done by the Hullabaloo asked students their opinion of the ban: 58 people disagreed and only 38 agreed.</p>
