Ban Smoking On Maricopa County College Campuses


Recommended Posts

So here I am a Safety Officer, (that's what they call me), on a college campus here in Phoenix Arizona. I got an email the other day about the notion of smoking ban on all Maricopa county college campuses. I know these people as I work for them and they tend to knee jerk allot. I will not be surprised they ban any and all things nicotine related. This is the email

While this email is specific to the Phoenix College campus this is something being done all over Maricopa county. Here is a comments page for a local news channel that ran a story on the ASU smoking ban, http://www.abc15.com...cspx?p=Comments

I already sent them an email about personal vaporizers as a healthier alternative to smoking but i am still worried. What should I do? Activist is something I never added to my resume so I am at a loss for how to get the ball rolling. Any advice is more than welcome.
