This Week’s Question:
“Do you think university administration should consider making TAMUK a smoke and tobacco free campus?”
Major: Civil Engineering
“I think they should, because people are not considerate of you…I personally don’t smoke, but there are a lot of students that smoke and come into class and you sit next to them for an hour or two. You can’t do anything about it, and they’re just there and they smell really bad…there is nothing I can do about. So, yes I think they should.”
Major: Bio-Med
“I feel like the school should make TAMUK a smoke-free campus, because whenever I’m walking by someone who vapes or smokes they blow it in my face. That is really irritating.”
Major: Environmental Engineering
“I feel like they should make designated areas…I just think you can’t really prevent it either way because people will find a way to do it. Some people have anxiety or whatever it may be, so I feel like a designated area would be a good compromise.”
Major: Mechanical Engineering
“I feel like they shouldn’t because you not only have to take into consideration the students but also the employees. Sometimes they require a smoke-break. It’s their right to have a smoke-break. If they can’t even do that on campus after working so many hours…I mean what is that?”
