san francisco state university is now a smoke-free campus.
this is what the random email i got said:
I am pleased to announce that San Francisco State University has just taken another major step in our ongoing efforts to provide a safe and healthful environment for all members of our community. On August 23, 2004, we will become a smoke-free campus. With the exception of a few small, designated areas, smoking will be prohibited on all University-owned or leased property.
We have been moving in this direction for some time. The previous University policy prohibited smoking within 30 feet of a campus building. Given our compact campus, that actually left few legal opportunities for smokers. In addition, the Bookstore Board of Directors chose in 2003 to end the sale of tobacco products. Last spring, the Academic Senate took up the issue. In a very progressive action, "in the interests of the health and well being of non-smokers and smokers alike," the Senate passed a resolution calling for SFSU to become a smoke-free campus with designated smoking areas -- exactly what the new policy provides.
wtf??? what are we in high school again?
