Inside My Brain

As of the 2013 school year, University of Oregon has made it illegal for anyone to smoke tobacco on campus grounds. Now, if someone was to pull out a cigarette during school hours with an abundant number of students about, the smoker would be looked at as if he/she were completely crazy. This transition seems very drastic and I am quite against it. Even though I like my clean air as much as the next guy, being an adult in college gives you the right to smoke a cigarette where ever you please as long as you are outdoors. I feel that this new rule has completely changed the culture of campus life for the worse. Now, smokers are forced to the outskirts of campus, treating them like aliens of some sort. Smoking is a form of stress release and college is packed full of stress. An article about the change can be seen here.
