Panola College has a smoking policy that prohibits smokers from lighting up within 25 feet of a building entrance. The policy was approved by the board but has not been enforced...but that is changing this month.
I hate smoking so I'm all for the new rule. Smoking infringes on the rights of nonsmokers because it fouls the air. Students who smoke probably don't realize that the odor permeates their clothes, backpacks, hair and breath.
The rule will be inconvenient for smokers who will have to stand outside or sit in their cars to smoke, but it will bring a breath of fresh air and less litter to our campus.
