<p>Yeah, Korean internationals smoke alot, so do hipster/European grad students. Some undergrads smoke when drinking but a lot of people are very into fitness so they don’t really do it.</p>
<p>the only thing i hate about my school (<-----------see it over there?) is the smokers. everytime i go to the library and before i leave, i have to hold my breathe because i’m paranoid i’m going to get cancer as a secondhand smoker.</p>
<p>all the smokers somehow like to smoke outside the library.</p>
<p>I can’t walk around the campus without seeing someone smoke. Everyone assumes you smoke unless you say otherwise lol. I’ve had many offers to smoke and asked if I had a lighter several times. Even the kids who don’t smoke have lighters…</p>
<p>Lots of people smoke at UChicago. Lots and lots. There are always huge congregations of people smoking outside the libraries and main academic buildings. A lot of people don’t smoke heavily, but they smoke nonetheless. A lot of smokers make friends by standing outside together. I was a bit turned off by all this at first, but after a few months, it just became normal.</p>
<p>TA3021, which college do you attend?</p>
<p>Yeah people do smoke, and it’s annoying cause unlike high school, they don’t have to hide it…But none of my friends smoke so the secondhand thing only really affects me when I’m trying to walking into ta building for class…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I attend a state college.</p>
<p>Hipsters smoke. Lots of my friends who went to LACs took up smoking–people I never took for smokers.</p>
<p>Cal–about 20% of students smoke regularly, and a bunch more will smoke if they’re at a party and somebody offers them a cigarette.</p>
<p>Im not in college yet but took summer coures at UC San Diego. Smoking wasn’t really big there, at least not cigarrettes. I did meet a few people who partied (relative minority at UCSD lol) and they smoked pot, but other than that the vast majority no. Even in my high school nobody smokes cigarrettes, a ton of people smoke pot tho.</p>
<p>TA, a SUNY? Which one?</p>
<p>… Are you trying to make a list of schools with high smoking rates?</p>
<p>When I visited UPenn, I was shocked at how many smokers there were. They were everywhere, and there were many butts all over campus. A friend who attends told me that many students pick up smoking and that the people he was friends with pressured him to smoke. </p>
<p>Obviously, that was just one day and one person, so I’m not sure how true that really is.</p>
<p>That’s how I started… I mean, I accept ultimate responsibility, but it sure didn’t help that I was around people who pressured me to do it. </p>
<p>I was always what I called a respectful smoker though. I stayed away from doors, always blew up to the sky if people were around or if I was walking, and always threw out my butts in a trash can or an ashtray.</p>
<p>My d crossed one school off her list because when we visited we saw that a ton of people were smoking. (SUNY Fredonia)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, everyone! Keep it coming!
As far as UPenn goes, I have heard that it is mostly international students who smoke and that many of them are occasional smokers. When I have walked around there, I have hardly seen any smokers.
Thanks for the question, ManOfFaith. I think that this is an important topic that could be included in a featured discussion and generate more responses, and perhaps different impressions or opinions. I think that these responses reflect very helpful information, but I hesitate to make a list from single responses without more validation. I wish that there were a more scientific way to approach this. I also think that smoking and smoking trends are topics worthy of discussion.</p>
<p>Not that many people at Pitt smoke. Sometimes right outside the dorms walking in I have smelled cigarette smoke from one or two people smoking but that’s it.</p>
<p>Btw, has anyone watched old movies or movies set in old time periods and people smoke inside buildings? It already smells gross if smoking’s done outside and it looks stuffy inside the buildings too. I can’t even imagine how it smells in those rooms and yet it looks like it was done often in the past.</p>
<p>at University of Miami I know a bunch of kids are regular smokers…as in 3+ cigarettes a day…its gross. It’s not the majority that smokes but there are a good amount of them</p>
<p>Every native Korean I know smokes. I have been told that in Korea military service is compulsory, and to deal with the stresses of military life they give new recruits cigarettes.</p>
<p>I transferred from here but at Suffolk university every time i would walk to class i would see about 10-15 people smoking around the same time. I can"t avoid them because every building has at least one person smoking it was bothering my asthma</p>
