Smoking ban stubbed out at colleges
by Paige Parker
Typical Oregon smokers -- poor, young, with little or no advanced education -- look much like the typical community college student, one reason tobacco foes are pressing the state's campuses to ban smoking outright. It's the latest in a long line of moves to extinguish smoking in public places, protecting the health of those who don't smoke and giving those who do a reason to quit. But a year into the tobacco-free college initiative, none of Oregon's 17 community colleges has adopted a campuswide ban.
