Students who use tobacco may need to find somewhere else to smoke, dip or chew in coming years, because of a new initiative that is looking to make the University a tobaccao-free campus.
A small gathering of University students and faculty met in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union yesterday to meet with the representatives of the KU Tobacco-Free Campus Initiative, and discuss the potential for developing a cultural change to eliminate the use of tobacco on campus. According to a survey conducted by the Initiative in Spring 2013, 59 percent of faculty and staff, and 64 percent of students were in favor of a stricter tobacco policy on campus.
Ty Patterson, the executive director of the National Center for Tobacco Policy, said the decision and implementation of a campus tobacco ban requires all people involved to use critical thinking to evaluate the decision.

"It's not a new concept in higher ed. to be engaged in this process, but we want to do it in a very comprehensive, inclusive way as a change process, not just throw out a policy," said Ola Faucher, the University's Human Resources director, during the forum. "We want to engage people, talk with a lot of people, find out what the issues are, what the ideas are, and do it in a way that represents a cultural change, and take into account all of the issues that come up."

you can learn about tobacco that will help you think about this process perhaps a little "differently". Patterson said during the open forum discussion.
Those in attendance raised their questions and concerns about the ways that a policy change would affect students who live on campus, and the enforcement of the policy and penalization of violators. They also shared some of the ways that their personal health is currently affected by the presence of second-hand smoke on campus.
are made worse by secondhand smoke, and, according to a Center for Disease Control report, second-hand smoke affects pregnant women and their children, ranging from asthma attacks to sudden infant death syndrome. The report also states the secondhand smoke leads to heart disease, stroke and lung cancer in adults.
Patterson also presented a statistic that 10 percent of personal aliments in the world
Emma Halling, the student body vice president, said that the policy would affect some students more than it would affect others.
"I understand that the alleged benefits are going to be widely publicized, but for me — in my position — it's really
important to air concerns that may otherwise not be brought to the floor." Halling said. "For me, that is the fact that students who live on campus are going to have to change their behavior more than students who live off campus." Halling also voiced her concerns over the effectiveness of producing a culture change on campus. She added that a growing international population at the University might find it harder to adapt to a tobacco-free environment on campus, due to the different ways many cultures view cigarette smoking.
