UALR campus goes smoke free  

A campus-wide smoking ban goes into effect at UALR. The University made the decision to go smoke-free a year ago so students and staff had plenty of time to get ready for the change.

You can't miss the “no smoking” signs on UALR's campus. Chris Hardin just moved in. He says good luck to smokers claiming they don't know about the ban. "They can use that (as their excuse), but I'm not sure how well it will go," says Hardin.

Hardin is a junior transfer from a community college that banned smoking last year. He supports the ban. "Well, it's cool for me because I don't smoke, so it didn't bother me at all, but other people weren't too thrilled about it," he says. . . .

Don't try to get around the rule by smoking in your car. That's not allowed.
