The Students Opinion

After sending out a survey and talking to many students on campus, there was a split decision on whether Michigan State should go smoke free.  A slight majority sides with MSU not going smoke free because students said that it would be too hard to control, and it's a personal right and why should we try to change it.  This podcast talks to two MSU students who have slightly different opinions about the situation.  Smoke Free Podcast.  Also, after talking to a student who attends the University of Michigan, I was able to get a little more information about what effects that going smoke free has made on their campus.  She said there definitely has been a decrease in smokers on campus, but she hardly recognized having them around in the first place (before they went smoke free).  Also, she said that since it is hard to regulate this new rule, many students just sneak it and get away with it easily.  For students who are still confused on why a campus would go smoke free, this article explains more in depth the reasons behind the initiative.  smoke free article
