True. Now you'll get used to the sight of marquee's above pub doors and millions of cigarete doughts on the ground.

all the college teachers already have a plan considering the campus is going smoke free...

at the back of the college is a public footpath where its legal to smoke

Since the teachers smoking room got removed in my school, some teachers go to the pub at break and lunch and smoke there (outside) or some smoke with the students outside the gates... or i know one that does it daily. That teacher's always been weird. He comes in drunk all the time.

That was in Northern Ireland (I think) and they have removed the smoking rooms at Northampton General Hospital and you can't smoke on site either.

It's been Smoke Free inside restaurants and buildings in Canada for 2 years now. They are even passing a law that no one near the outside entrance within a distance of a building can smoke. Good Canadians
