Updated 01/23/2011 05:30 PMCUNY To Vote On Smoking Ban For All Its CampusesBy: Amanda FarinacciHoping to reduce the number of student smokers in its ranks, the City University of New York is making plans to bansmoking from all of its campuses by next year. NY1's Amanda Farinacci filed the following report.The entrance to the student center at the College of Staten Island is littered with cigarette butts. It is a popular spotfor smokers on the Willowbrook campus, because smoking is prohibited inside the buildings of the City University ofNew York.Soon, students and teachers may not be allowed to smoke out here either. The board of trustees for all 23 citycolleges is set to vote Monday to make CUNY schools smoke-free."We're going to phase this in over an 18-month period and we hope that by June 2012 we'll have a completelysmoke-free campus," said Dr. Tomas Morales, the president of the College of Staten Island.More than 440 colleges nationwide have adopted smoke free policies for their campuses.Page 134 of 157
And while the specifics of the plan are still in the works, CUNY officials say one of the proposals the board of trusteeswill vote on would designate certain areas for smokers, away from main buildings to shield others from second-handsmoke.Doctors say banning smoking on college campuses is a great way to target student smokers and discourage themfrom lighting up."You have to start good habits as early as possible," said Dr. John Maese of Staten Island University Hospital. "Sowith students on campus, if they can't smoke, it's just one more deterrent to them picking up a bad habit."An educational outreach campaign is planned to warn students about health risks, and how they can get help quitting.The city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene estimates that 19.4 percent of Staten Islanders smoke -- thehighest rate in the city.Word of the coming ban had smokers at CSI wondering where they will go for a fix."I think it's pretty discriminatory. Smoking is a choice that's made by adults," said student Rob Assini. "And if peoplechoose to do so, especially in a highly stressful environment such as a college environment, and people feel the needto blow off steam by smoking, then I feel they should be free to."Not everyone agreed."I think it's a good idea health-wise, but people are going to do what they're going to do," said student Mike Guarneri.As for enforcement, CUNY officials say they have not yet determined the punishment for breaking the smoking rules.Also Featured on: MPNnow.com; gothamist.com; worldjournal.com; NYtimes.com; Wnbz.com; CBS New York;Associated Press; University Business; Yeshiva World News; New York PressPage 135 of 157
