New smoking laws don’t have much bite
Kyle Green | The Roanoke Times
Lynn Lane smokes a cigarette while playing a video game at Charbel’s Sports Grill in Salem. Lane’s thoughts on the smoking ban: “I think it’s terrible, because when most people come into a bar, it’s to smoke. I don’t smoke unless I’m drinking a beer. And once I’m drinking a beer, it’s on.”
No Smoking On Campus: More Schools Ban Tobacco Products
In less than one month, students at the University of Florida who smoke or use other tobacco products will have to find a way to go without them — at least while they’re on campus.
UF is implementing a tobacco-free policy on July 1, and it’s part of a nationwide trend. In 2005, there were just 18 smoke-free colleges — now there are 394, according to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation. That number is continuing to grow. Other colleges that will implement a tobacco-free policy this July include the University of Central Oklahoma, Northwestern Michigan College and Widener University in Pennsylvania. Starting this August, all public universities in Arkansas will become smoke-free. Violators could be fined anywhere from $100 to $500.
Once a smoking or tobacco policy is in place, the issue becomes how to enforce it. UF’s current policy states that people cannot smoke within 50 feet of any building on campus. However, 24-year-old UF Graduate James Smith often takes his smoking breaks right outside his workplace on UF’s campus. He is usually about five feet from the building. People sometimes approach Smith and remind him of the smoking policy, but he doesn’t listen.

[edit] Rationale
The rationale for smoke-free laws is to protect people from the effects of second-hand smoke, which include an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema, and other diseases.[2][3] Laws implementing bans on indoor smoking have been introduced by many countries in various forms over the years, with some legislators citing scientific evidence that shows tobacco smoking is harmful to the smokers themselves and to those inhaling second-hand smoke.
