If you see smokers on campus after July 1, say something!
One week from the today is the last day smoking and tobacco use will be allowed on campus, per state law. If you observe smoking after that date, Vice President for Student Services Lesley Frederick encourages you to speak up, and ask the smokers (nicely) if they are aware that smoking is no longer allowed on campus. Here are the basics you can share:
- State law now prohibits smoking and tobacco use on college campuses.
- At LLCC, you can only smoke in your vehicle.
- Police will enforce the smoking ban with a $25 fine the first time and $50 fines if caught again.
- Want to quit? Student Life will sponsor lunchtime presentations on kicking the habit Sept. 10 and Nov. 12 in the Commons.
