Well played.

I don't smoke, but I'm a heck of a lot more upset seeing the mess left at the junction after a game (largely by students), than someone smoking a cigar. I wish our SA would concentrate on that real problem, rather than addressing non-issues.
All good or bad about the smoking thing aside, when I was a kid (I'm getting older) one of the things I really remember is the smell of a stadium when you walked in. The cigars gave it a unique smell that was only at a game.
While we're being progressive and shit, let's ban alcohol on campus. We'd be the first school in Mississippi to do it, it would reduce trash in the junction, prevent alcohol poisoning among young frat stars, and decrease liver disease and digestive organ cancers ten fold.
I don't smoke. I quit dipping and chewing awhile back.... but my reply is still the same. How about no.
They can kiss ass.
If I did smoke I wouldn't do it around people, and I was discreet about dipping. It's called courtesy. But this shit is getting ridiculous.
If I still dipped, I'd still do it, and they would never know if i was. And if they did, I'd still dip next game
I'm pretty sure it is banned. When he was governor, Haley signed something that let the local city and county laws govern alcohol on campus which meant all of our campus was wet for liquor and part of it was wet for beer. Not long afterwards a group of drunk students killed a cop at UNM when he got hung up on their mirror when they sped off during a traffic stop. When that happened, Haley rescinded what he had just signed and alcohol was again illegal on campus. I don't think anything has been passed since then making it legal. I could be wrong though.
Wait let me get this straight? Public university mostly paid for by public money, I.E. Taxpayer dollars, says the very persons who make the institution, cannot light up a cigarette? I don't smoke and don't like the smell, but I don't think I should tell someone they cannot do something they enjoy. Who are they harming but themselves? (Don't bring your stupid bullshit insubstantied second hand propaganda). It's false. Go piss up a rope. The PC police are taking over our once beloved university.
Here's an idea, how about we let the participants whom lay for something decide the agenda and policies, not what the f*ck some unsubstantiated half ass review/study says? Does that require too much thinking on our parts? If you can decide between regular and peanut M&M's you should be able to logically reason that people should be able to smoke in their own space without consequence.
You anti smoking brain dead oblivious backers, just you wait. Alcohol could be next. You all give these liberal, tell someone else what to do, agendas the befit of the doubt, thinking they'll never come for something I enjoy. That's where you are starkly wrong. Here's a little insight. They don't stop. Never stop. If you give a mouse a cookie, he's gonna want a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he's gonna ask for a straw to stir the milk. Look the book up and you'll see that these people are never satisfied.
You are one closed minded ****ing idiot Rouge. There's a reason many places are adopting laws saying you can't smoke in certain places including within so many feet of doors and entryways.
Furthermore it's called common courtesy as others have noted. Why should I have to tell someone to put out a damn cancer stick when I want to breath air. They should go to a designated area so they can kill each other.
Furthermore if you really want to get into it... Talk about something with proven cancer connections and should be illegal... If not for big money donors.
And this doesn't have shit to do with football. Moved
