This isn't a controversial issue. Just make the smokers go outside. A generation ago, smoking in dorms might have been understandable. The deadly effects of smoking were not advertised or fully understood 30 years ago. But this is the year 2000.
Every pack of cigarettes comes with a surgeon general's warning.
Researchers have shown time and time again how dangerous lighting up can be, to the point where even cigarette manufacturers are starting to admit it. Primarily for these reasons, smoking has even become a social stigma. Smoking is still a personal choice. Smokers shouldn't be ostracized, but they shouldn't be allowed to smoke inside a building where the majority of residents are non-smokers, either. Right now, non-smoking dorm residents who have asthma or are allergic to smoking problems may be forced to live around cigarette smoke.
