The campus has a Tobacco Use Policy and the Designated Tobacco-Use Areas law in which you can only smoke cigarettes in specific areas on campus. If you are not smoking in the designated areas a fine must be payed. The Board of Students are arguing these policies are not enforced and Ole Miss needs to be a smoking free campus.
“I think smoking should not be allowed on campus because when I am walking to my classes I don't want to be forced to inhale second hand smoke and inhale those chemicals into my body”, says sophmore Nicole Boyd.
Sophmore Jordan Wulforst states “If smoking is banned our campus will look so much cleaner and we will get more fresh air to breathe in."
Many students argue against the thought of becoming a smoking free campus and are furious with the idea. Sophmore Brooke Busse states, “smoking should be allowed on campus. If it is taken away then the school is taking away our rights to enjoy a cigarette after or before class. The school should make a compromising decision and make the smoking policy enforced because a lot of people do not know they existed.”
The decision to make Ole Miss a smoke free campus is still up for decision. Before anything changes there is a vote on ASB facebook page to see what majority of students think.
