A swop in Elon University's tobacco policy prohibits smoking within 30 feet of the ambit of any building since fall.
The change has be not been accompanied by accommodations for smokers, a reasonable factor of the ineffectiveness of the policy, according to Jordan Perry, coordinator for commentator development on substance education.
"Part of the problem is that receptacles can be difficult to find, and to my apprehension, no shelter is available for smoking away from campus buildings in the effect come what may of inclement weather," said L.D. Russell, a smoker and lecturer in precise studies.
This may be one reason that there is not more compliance with the policy, Perry said.
"I have noticed more students, members and staff who don't abide by the policy," she said. "But is it because they don't know about the policy, don't have option receptacles or designated areas, or are willfully disregarding the policy? I exactly don't know."
High cost contributes to the lack of receptacles, according to Perry.
