I’m guessing “medical” marijuana will get a pass.

A local college just banned smoking everywhere on campus except for a couple of distant parking lots.
Oh, except for: " ... all union employees,including CSEA workers (generally maintenance and clerical staff) and UUP (faculty and staff) are essentially not bound by the new smoking rules."

“The school says it will be enforced by voluntary compliance and peer and supervisory support, but not fines. “


Gee,then I’d just keep smoking outdoors.

I was at LSU from 1952>1957. The cigarette companies, Lucky Strike, Camel, etc. hired campus representatives (students) to pass out FREE samples of their products to students coming and going from classes. I did not smoke and never have, but I would take the samples and pass them on the my smoking friends. Even then they were called “coffin nails”.

Second hand smoke has been pretty well eleminated. I would suggest that the eviros now go after “second hand noise.” Boom boxes in cars, loud mufflers on cars, pickups, and noisy tires. In my current neighborhood, there are cars that can be heard from 200 to 300 feet away, coming and going. Is loud audio system noise, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM some kind of mental viagra ????

IF the new 40 is now 60 (years in age) then I guess the new 10 must be 30!

In the interest in fairness, I am sure that they are now not accepting any revenue generated from tobacco taxation. For example, the pell grants that are funded byt the MSA....

Is that correct there libtards? Or is it that your President has a financial interest in smoking cessation products?

Just as a follow up:

“At the same time, Mary Sue Coleman, president of the entire University of Michigan, sits on the board of directors for the pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson. Last year, the company paid her $229,978 — roughly half in stock and half in cash — for attending a limited number of meetings, corporate filings show.”

This is one of their leading products:
