Smoking ban awaits admin approval: Webster’s Student Government Association (SGA) approved a measure for students to vote on whether or not they want to ban smoking on campus. The ban would include electronic cigarettes, vape pens and oral tobacco products. The policy states exceptions will be made to students who live on campus, but those students will have to get approval from the Office of Housing and Residential Life. SGA is in the final steps of getting the policy on next month’s ballot and is awaiting final word from administration.

What ever the policy for smoking, be more permissive with e-cigs to encourage students and employees to switch. Smoking a carton a week cost me $3,000 a year. E liquid I mix at home for personal use costs $30 a year. That kind of money saved would help students pay tuition, enlightened self interest for the school. So encourage smokers to switch. It could be one of the most valuable things they get from their school days.
