i d like to talk about smoking bans –
No doubts that there are impact of smoking bans as the smoking bans have made smokers life difficult. You may see how many people eventually have realized that smoking is unhealthy. I like to hear that governments have put bans on smoking. Now smokers have to go out for taking a puff of smoke.
It is good for the long term.

smoking cigarettes makes you look cooler.

that’s why i smoke a pack a day. to look cooler.

all you kids whining about smokers just need to be a little cooler. stop studying, get out of your dorm, light a cigarette, and join a fraternity.

You know what? I agree with you guys.
Smoking is an awful, terrible habit. Truly disgusting, filthy and unattractive really.

So next time you’re six deep at a party, do yourself and me a favor–when you’re good and buzzed and looking to bum that smoke, stay the hell away from me and my pack of Reds.

If there’s a time in your life to smoke like a motherfucker, it’s college.

Your assertions that hookah and pot are just as dangerous as cigarettes are just plain wrong. How many people do you know who smoke hookah twenty times a day every day? How many people have EVER died from smoking pot? The answer to both of these questions is none.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Northwestern, but it’s shocking how many people I see getting completely wasted every weekend, just walking to the frats. It’s a big turn-off.

I mean, we are all smart enough to get into this school, we must all know how stupid it is, right? It’s not cool, it’s not fun, so why do it?

I’d love to see “freshman” say those words…oh wait, probably won’t and will instead go take 10 shots to be “cool” and then puke it up in hospital or wake up so hung over with shot brain cells. Awesome.

Sarcasm aside, just quit and save the dough.

Also, to Ben, I think the NUPD should be doing more important things than enforcing the smoking rules. That should be one of their LOWEST priorities given the recent spat of Evanston crimes. And if you don’t like the people smoking outside on the sidewalks, tough. I don’t like diesel fumes from the buses, life goes on.

I’m glad you did a story about this, although I disagree with your conclusions. I see a lot of people smoking when I walk around campus, and I really do not like it. There is a law in Illinois that says you can’t smoke within 25 feet of a building, but I rarely see that observed.

The outside dorm. Haven’t you seen it? It’s got all the tents lined up next to the oxygen tanks.
