It’s back to school for college kids all across New England but this year something new is banned from some campuses. Several state schools are going cigarettes online free, campus wide. Salem State University started Thursday.
It’s a simple initiative; no smoking cigarettes by anyone, anywhere on campus.
“This includes driveways, sidewalks, athletic fields, any outdoor space within the perimeter of Salem State campus,” says Karen Cady, a spokesperson for the school.
The new policy is being welcome by students like SSU Sophomore Tanya Chesson, who says she’d prefer smokeless walks to and from class, “it gives those who don’t smoke cigarettes freedom to walk around they don’t have to walk with smoke cigarettes being blown in their faces.”
