Harrisburg, PA (AHN) - More U.S. campuses have joined the bandwagon to promote health and wellness by banning smoking in universities and colleges.
According to the Americans for Nonsmokers' rights, over 140 schools are totally smoke-free, over thrice the number which prohibited lighting up by March 2007. The boost in numbers was partly due to the total smoking ban last month by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education on all state-owned universities. The 14 institutions of higher learning in the state have over 110,000 students.
The PASSHE's move followed a ban on cigarettes in many offices and public places in June.
