Student Union

So the University wishes to make Washington University in St. Louis a smoke free campus by July 2010.  I feel that such a ban, while in the spirit of health and protection, fails to make campus a place for all students. Though the smoking population of campus may not stand in the majority there is no reason to banish them from our campus. 

So long as smokers are able to respect a certain distance from all building entrances there is no reason why both smokers and non smokers alike cannot co-exist on the Danforth Campus.

I respect the health concerns of many students and I urge them along with others students passionate about this issue to get involved in the conversation.
