CU looks at New Tobacco Policy

About 12% of Clemson University students smoke on campus, according to recent research. However, that may become strictly prohibited beginning as early as 2015, if a policy being considered is adopted. That policy would also apply to others on campus, including visitors. The Clemson University Undergraduate Student Government is spreading the word that a task force is now seeking feedback from the community. Three other South Carolina colleges and universities now ban tobacco substances on their campuses. Clemson University students are being encouraged to provide honest and thorough responses to the proposal. Anyone may share his or her thoughts on social media; use the hash tag #CUTobaccoBan. The student government groups intend to track the comments.
