I don't think smokers have too much of a right. Smoking is a choice, and every American does have the right to smoke. However, no one has the right to smoke around me if I don't want to breathe it. But you should be able to smoke in the UC during winter. Although I uphold my rights as a nonsmoker, I definitely wouldn't want to send a smoker out into the cold.
Freedom goes both ways.
As many students well know, APSU endorses an eclectic environment with friendship and stability between all people. However, it is possible that by banning smoking indoors in such places as the UC, the school is indirectly promoting a clannish attitude between smokers and nonsmokers. Anywhere on campus, one can see that smokers often smoke together in groups. Sixteen of the students claimed to be nonsmokers and 14 claimed to be smokers. With these statistics, it seems that smokers and nonsmokers are not necessarily so much opposed.
