I have recently had a conversation with my aunt about cigarettes and alcohol. Over the fourth of July weekend, she asked if FGCU was a smoke-free campus. I proceeded to tell her no, but I strongly feel that it eventually will be. Before I could explain why, she began a year long rant about how it is unfair that smoking students have to give up their "thing that makes them happy", but students who drink daily don't have to give up their "thing that makes THEM happy." She covered the both can kill you topic, and continued to state how unfair that was, but thats about it. It really got me thinking about what campus life would be like without those two terrible things. How many customers would the local gas stations lose? If all college campuses decided to abolish alcohol and cigarettes, how many Beer and Cigarette companies would go out of business?
