“We need to make sure we

means to our campus and our
neighbors,” Cochran said.
People have complained
about the smoking areas on
CCC. Cochran is looking into
changing the locations of
some of them.
“Not all of the cabanas are
strategically placed; They’re

where people walk through,”
Cochran said.
Maintaining the manpower
to enforce the ban is another
issue. With only, one officer
patrolling the campus, the
college cannot commit them
to wrangling smokers.
Martin Wilkinson is study
ing Real Estate Investment at
CCC. He’s a nonsmoker aller
gic to cigarette smoke, but he
is neither for nor against the
ban.
“A lot of people smoke. I
just don’t go by it,” Wilkinson
said.

Government President Alyssa
Fava said that ASG played a
role in feedback from the stu
dents about the ban. Changes
in leadership have paused the
progression of the campaign,
but Fava is still interested in
students’ comments.
“We’re gonna come back
to it. All of the work is still
here,” Fava said.
