Smoke ban blows across UB three campuses

Thursday, November 20 2008

Smokers on campus will take their last after-class puffs at the end of the academic year, as smoking will be completely banned on-campus effective next fall.

   UB will join over 160 other college campuses nationwide in initiating a 100 percent ban on smoking, according to David Dunn, M.D., Ph.D. vice president of Health Sciences. It is the first state university in Western New York to enact such a ban.

   "We thought that it would be a great initiative for the community," said Helen Cappuccino, clinical assistant professor, surgeon at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and UB alumna.
