USM Amends Smoking Policy

The days of smoking cigarettes on the University of Southern Mississippi campus appear to be numbered.

Southern Miss will unveil its new smoking cigarettes policy this semester that limits folks to smoking cigarettes only in designated areas in the first phase of an all-out ban.

A smoke-free campus "is the end goal. This is just the stepping stone," said Southern Miss Health Education and Promotion Coordinator Jodi Ryder.

There will be a warning period followed by a $50 fine leveled against violators of the new policy, which accords with the campus initiative of healthy minds and bodies.

The money will fund cheap cigarettes education materials.

"It's a culture change. If there was a slogan for this, that would probably be it," said Student Government Association President Erick Brown.

Brown said there will be at least 20 smoking cigarettes areas "spread out all over campus."

The old smoking cigarettes policy only prohibited students, faculty and staff members from smoking cigarettes within 20 feet of campus buildings. There was no fine.

Brown helped craft the policy along with members of the Faculty Senate, Staff Council and the Office of Health Promotion within Student Health Services.

So why not ban it one swoop? Brown said that this intermediate period will allow campus leaders to digest feedback about the new policy, including through campus surveys.

"I think it's probably better long-term for everyone's well-being and health," said sophomore Naomi Nixon, who smokes 15 to 20 buy cigarettes a day.

"I think it's going too far," said smoker Leslie Hutchison about the plan to eventually ban smoking cigarettes.

Hutchison and fellow senior psychology major Cody Bryant said that hanging out at the ash receptacle in front of Owings-McQuagge Hall - barely 20 feet to the left of its entrance - has becoming a ritual among some of the student smokers.

"I understand why there would be a no alcohol policy on campus, because alcohol can actually impair your ability to function academically, but smoking cigarettes?" Hutchison said. "College is about making choices and having freedom, and smoking cigarettes should be one of our freedoms."

Southern Miss does permit alcohol usage, albeit not in public spaces.

Cutting down on second-hand smoke, of course, is one of the reasons for the change.

Senior Jonathan Bennett, a non-smoker, said that he hates breathing in smoke cigarettes around Cook Library, a popular shady area for smokers.

"I think this is a good thing," he said about the policy.

But Bryant said that, when smokers use courtesy, non-smokers can easily dodge the foul air.

"It's not like there's a cloud of smoke cigarettes over everyone's head," Bryant said.

The University of Mississippi enacted a similar designated area policy in 2007, adding $25 fines two years later.

Nixon, who is studying abroad for the semester, said that she's seen the same policy trends back home in Australia, where "smoking cigarettes is pretty much banned" including at her school, Macquarie University.

"They've phased it out, so that you can't smoke cigarettes on campus at all - there's only two designated smoking cigarettes spots," Nixon said.

Ryder said that she believes this new policy will reduce the number of smokers on campus by making it inconvenient for them to puff away. The new social norm, she said, is for people not to smoke.

Nixon said she's seen that trend before back home.

"When no one else is around, you feel pretty disgusting lighting up," Nixon said.
