Which colleges respect smokers???
Some colleges are very strickly anti-smoking and others are strickly pro-smoking…
<p>I would say that being pro-smoking, and respecting smoking, are two completely different things. </p>
<p>I know the U of MN has a no smoking inside policy, but you can still smoke on campus.</p>
<p>i know all High Schools in the US prohibit smoking on campus.
Is that the same at colleges??</p>
<p>Colleges should treat smokers as second-class citizens.</p>
<p>I am a smoker and I am pro-smoking!!</p>

<p>Colleges should treat smokers as second-class citizens.</p>
<p>I agree.</p>
<p>I'm guessing most schools south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi aren't going to be the most anti-smoking schools out there....Many of them were probably founded using tobacco $$$.</p>
<p>Why would any intelligent person smoke these days?</p>
<p>Its a question of priorities i guess...</p>
<p>it's something to do with your hands and something that goes hand in hand with drinking</p>
<p>I've read studies which show that the more intelligent a person is, the less inclined they are to smoke. Makes sense to me. How does one logically defend CHOOSING to smoke? Kinda like saying, "I choose to spend many thousands of dollars over my lifetime to administer slow death by cancer to myself."</p>
<p>I'm not sure if it's been shown whether smoking correlates with intelligence, but it makes sense. I do know that non smokers look at smokers as either stupid or weak. Take your pick.</p>
<p>Something to do with your hands? That is the silliest thing I have ever heard for why someone spokes....think about it!!!
Smoking is just yucky- smokers don't know they stink...but they do...</p>
<p>Don't know what you mean by "pro-smoking". No university with any brains would ever allow smoking in any of its dorms or classrooms. The risk of fire is too great. Parents tend to object to hearing that their children were rushed to the hospital because some kid fell asleep while smoking. Just ruins the whole day.</p>
<p>Duke, haha</p>
<p>joke joke</p>
<p>Perhaps you should look at what states are tobacco-friendly. Look at the tobacco-producing states: Kentucky and North Carolina especially. While the campuses will not be tobacco-friendly, area restaurants are more accomodating to smokers.</p>
<p>Just answering the question. Hate cigarette smoke myself (especially hate it when my clothes reek of someone else's smoke).</p>
<p>duke was founded by an owner of a smoking company</p>
<p>hm, well I was just giving the reasons for justification that I have heard. Yes, smoking is deadly and harmful--but you have to realize that it does not have immediately detering results. Rather, if viewed during a present situation, people smoke--as I said--for social reasons. It's something to do with your hands, it's a certain look. But besides that, why does anyone drink or smoke pot? Aren't those harmful as well? I think the average smoker at the top universities (who is NOT dumb) is just living in the moment, not thinking about consequences, and enjoying freedom away from parents. Isn't that what everyone is doing? By the way: I'm not a smoker. This is just my 2 cents</p>
<p>Chances of dying of smoking are pretty low.. Less than 1/100.</p>
