Need some ideas: What do YOU think about the smoking ban on campus at BSU? (via @ikovannoy)

These are some reply tweets we received on Twitter.BIRD

There has to be SOME space for smokers to go (it’s LEGAL) but it should not affect non-smokers. (via @hipmamasita)

Seems silly to outlaw smoking in open air. Designated smoking areas would be best. The worst R smokers who stand nxt 2 entrances. (via @lilivonshuttup)

I’m all for a smoking ban. I still rem when smoking was allowd at the Pavillion. The walkways were horrible. (via @JasonHaberman)

I think banning smoking entirely is overkill. School is stressful enough; it doen’t need to be made unbearable. (via @repressd)

I think there should be areas off path away from doors to smoke. Why not ban perfume, cars, peanut products, etc also? (via @wahooweena)

The existing ban on smoking inside bldgs is fine (provided plenty of ashtrays are avbl). As @hipmamacita said, it is still legal. (via @TomMitcham)

I am more than happy to go to designated areas when required. i’ve had to do it for 17 yrs in the military. (via @Larzzzz)

Not a fan of the smoking ban. For $2,000 + a semster, they should be able to smoke wherever as long as they pick up their butts. (via @superhootie)

A policy like banning smoking on a BSU campus feels like a rule that would be enforced on a BYU campus. (via @superhootie)

I kinda think it’s BS. (smoking ban) I’m a non smoker but school is stressful. Shouldn’t they at least have a designated spot? (via @eyessofatlantic)

Not a fan of the ban. The college could spend their time worrying on better things, esp. when they keep raising tuition! (via @surrealistique)

personally, I think over time, societies tend to over regulate things and take away liberties. I’m not for it. (via @Scott_Nicholson)
