Intro: After the Student Senate meeting Sunday night, smokers might have to go farther from campus buildings to light up, due to the smoke-free resolution that will be voted on.
The resolution states that students must be at least 20 feet away from all buildings in order to smoke.
Student Senate President JoEllen Flanagan said the resolution came up about three weeks ago.
Sophomore Samantha Goode, director of Health Services for Student Senate, is involved with Community Alliances for Smoke-Free Environments (C.A.S.E) and originally sponsored the resolution. Goode did not respond to e-mails and phone calls from the Index requesting comment. C.A.S.E. provided Goode with a majority of the statistics in the resolution, Flanagan said. Student Affairs chair Senior Kristyn Potter now sponsors the resolution.
Smoking won't be banned altogether, but there will be more specific rules regarding where smoking is prohibited on campus.
