UK's Tobacco Ban

[MJAlltheWay24]

Northern bans smoking from within 30 feet of any building...never really seemed to be enforced, but that's what they did about two years ago.

As a non-smoker, I like it.

 

There's nothing that I hate more than having someone smoke right next to me while I'm eating dinner and having a beer at happy hour.

 

Walk outside.

 

I agree with this but they should atleast have the ability to outside. I mean I hate smoke but just as long as its not in a building I can put up with it. And I can understand the medical part of campus being tobacco free which it already is, and that's fine. But this is Kentucky we are tobacco atleast we use to be there shouldnt ban it outside. And smokeless tobacco shouldn't be banned either it does nothing to others, if its your choice to do it. I understand the fact that you really can't just pick which tobacco products to ban but come on.

Transy is doing this later in the year as well.

 

Really I went there last year before transfering to UK and Transy is so layed back about things I can't believe that they are doing this.

When I first stumbled on this thread I didn't realize it said UK and thought it said US tobacco ban! My jaw hit the floor. Now as for UK's tobacco ban, it does seem kinda silly and pretty hard to enforce.

It is petty, IMO, but it shouldn't be hard to enforce. However, if they are anything like NKU they will make it seem like it is impossible to enforce.

They already have a rule that you must be 20 feet from the building to smoke. I don't understand really what the big deal is?

They sure did not have a problem when they were getting money from the Tobacco industry. I would be willing to bet that the University Farms still grows tobacco as a way to get additional money. How many Tobacco farmers donated, or sent kids to the school, or bougfht tickets to sporting events. They sure don't mind using tobacco money, DO THEY?!

The University of Kentucky is overflowing with hypocrisy. It makes me angry in ways I can't even explain.

Will smokeless be banned from commonwealth as well?

 

They can come a get mine out of my mouth if they want it out of there that bad. Next time I'm in Commonwealth, I might stop at the entrance, "Thunderpack" my Grizz, and put in half a can. That is insane, stupid, crazy, insert word here. We'll see how long it last. (Snuff wise)

Where there's smoke, there's ire

Really? Wow, thats a joke..

[getalife]

Perfect example of throwing the baby out with the bath water. They took a good idea-protecting non-smokers from second hand smoke-and took it way too far. Political correctness at its finest. It is sad to watch Americans slowly lose their freedom.

[D IT UP]

Impossible to ban smokeless...

I was thinking today about what's keeping a guy smoking a cigarette on campus from running if he doesn't want a fine from a biker campus patrol man?

If they want to enforce it that strict, I'm pretty sure a bike can go faster than someone running...
