U Of M Looking At Possible Smoking Ban

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ―

The University of Minnesota is looking at a possible smoking ban for its Twin Cities campus.

A student affairs group and campus health officials have sent a survey to students, staff and faculty to measure their feelings on a campuswide smoking ban.

Student Affairs Vice Provost Jerry Rinehart says the survey is the first step toward determining the level of support for a ban -- one that might include all outdoor areas.

Rinehart says such a ban could lower smoking rates on campus.

The university already bans smoking in all campus buildings. The University of Minnesota campus in Duluth enacted a smoking ban last year. The university's campus in Crookston will ban smoking in January.
