According to Central Oregon Community College’s rights and responsibilities section of the student handbook, smoking is to be limited to COCC parking lots only, except during high fire season when it is banned completely. Though whether the rule is fair, or even enforced is an issue that some COCC students are uncertain of.
But as the random survey shows, not all students agree that smoking on COCC campus is a non-issue. COCC student, Adam Hagenbach, said that he often sees students smoking near doors before class, and is forced to walk through clouds of smoke to get to his own classes.
“I hate it when I see people smoking on campus,” said Hagenbach.
Reynolds went on to say that if there were protected smoking areas closer to the buildings, students would be less inclined to break the rules.
