QUESTION SYNOPSIS

For Building 39 (Health), landings on each stairwell level have been designated as smoking areas. These locations are problematic for those of us with offices at the end of hallways. Smoke from the outside is pulled into the building whenever the hallway doors are opened. Some students and faculty are asthmatic and, for these individuals, even a small amount of smoke is a potentially potent irritant that might trigger an attack. Those of us who are familiar with asthma know that such attacks are serious health problems and not just minor inconveniences. Is there some compelling reason why designated smoking areas cannot be placed away from the entrances to this building?

QUESTION SYNOPSIS

Is there some mechanism to address the smoking problem? As far as I can tell, virtually every entrance to every building (with the exception of access to the President's Office and VP suites) is a designated smoking area. Additionally, trash cans line the length of the walkways on both the first and second floors. I have an autoimmune disease that makes breathing quite a problem under the best of circumstances. Being forced to walk through clouds of smoke to enter and exit every building has increased the problem dramatically. Does the Clean Air Act have no provisions to insure clean access to buildings? Is there any way to designate smoking areas for each building at a single entrance that has the least traffic or, better yet, away from the buildings all together. I am a strong proponent of personal freedom and absolutely support everyone's right to smoke, but I question the wisdom of exposing to serious health risks those of us who are trying to maintain healthy lives.
