Colleges and universities worldwide are starting to implement campus-wide smoking bans. The University of Georgia is not sure it is going to follow this trend, according to one administrator.
Tom Jackson, vice president for public affairs said, "Our philosophy is to protect students and personnel from the effects of secondhand smoke, but we try not to legislate against individual habits."
Smoking is prohibited, under the university's policy adopted in 2006, in dormitories, outside areas adjacent to buildings and all indoor facilities.
There are outdoor "buffer zones" are different for each building, the purpose of these zones is to prevent smoke from going through doorways and ventilation systems.
Administrators at the university feel it is more important to make it more clear which areas these zones encompass. On large university campuses this is the most logical route to take.
