MSU has announced that it has plans to make campus tobacco-free, according to the website MSU Today.
MSU is going to create a task force, led by the Office of the University Physician, which will create a policy making MSU a tobacco-free environment, according to the website.
There are at least 1,514 smoke-free campuses in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2015, according to the Americans for Nonsmokers' rights website.
The number of campuses has increased by nearly three times since 2011, according to the ANR website.
There are 25 colleges within Michigan that have at least one tobacco-free campus, according to the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation.
MSU's Board of Trustees will vote later this year on the proposed ordinance, according to MSU Today.
