22、t. Passage OneAt many colleges, smokers are being run not just out of school buildings but off the premises. On Nov. 19 , the University of Kentucky, the tobacco states flagship public institution, Launched a campus wide ban on cigarettes and all other forms of tobacco on school grounds and parking
23、areas. Pro-nicotine students staged a “smoke-out”to protest the new policy, which even rules out smoking inside cars if theyre on school property. Kentucky joins more than 365 U. S. colleges and universities that in recent years have instituted antismoking rules both indoors and out. In most places,
24、 the issue doesnt seem to be secondhand smoke. Rather, the rationale for going smoke-free in wide open spaces is a desire to model healthy behavior. Purdue University, which has 30-ft. buffer zones, recently considered adopting a campuswide ban but tempered its proposal after receiving campus input.
25、 Smoking will now be restricted to limited outdoor areas. One big problem with a total ban is enforcing it. Take the University of Iowa. In July 2008, the school went smoke-free in accordance with the Iowa Smokefree Air Act, violations of which can result in a $50 fine. But so far, the university ha

27、 habit by offering smoking-cessation programs and providing reimbursement for nicotine patches, gum and prescription medications like Zyban. The University of Michigan will probably take a similar approach when its ban takes effect in July 2011. “We dont have a desire to give tickets or levy punishm
28、ents, ”says Robert Winfield, the schools chief health officer. “We want to encourage people to stop smoking, set a good example for students and make this a healthier community. ”Naturally, there has been pushback from students. “Where do we draw the line between a culture of health and individual c
29、hoice?”asks Jnathan Slemrod, a University of Michigan senior and president of the schools College Libertarians. “If they truly want a culture of health, I expect them to go through all our cafeterias and get rid of all our Taco Bells, all our pizza places. ”Students might want to enjoy those Burrito
30、 Supremes while they can. In todays health-obsessed culture, those may be next. 36. We can infer that the “newness”of the antismoking policy at the University of Kentucky lies in _ . A. its extended scope of no-smoking placesB. its prohibition of cigarette sales on campusC. its penalty for bringing tobacco to schoolD. its ban on smoke when people are driving37.
