On July 1, the University of Michigan will become the state's first big university to ban smoking on its campus, The Detroit Free Press reported today.
"By making all campus grounds smoke-free, the university intends to send a firm message that smoking is bad for the health of our faculty, staff and students, and that the university will support smokers in stopping and discourage nonsmokers from taking up smoking," Dr. Robert Winfield, U-M's chief health officer, told the Free Press.
