A little over a week ago, as I was walking through Brody Hall to get dinner, I was asked by a girl who was member of “MSU’s Anti-Cancer Society,” if I’d sign a petition to make help make MSU smoke free to which I gave a definitive “no.” I didn’t say no because I was hungry and in a hurry, or because I’m a cigarette smoker myself, but simply because it’s an infringement on the civil liberties of those individuals who do choose to smoke. MSU already has a smoke-free policy that doesn’t allow smoking inside or within 25 feet of its buildings.
