Name: Ishmael Johnson
Major: Mass Communication
Question 1: "I think it has raised more problems and a complete ban wasn't the correct way to go about the smoking situation."
Question 2: Doesn't smoke because he never wanted to
Question 3: Doesn't think the ban will have an impact; people will continue to smoke. "Instead of less smokers there is more cigarette butts on the ground."
Question 4 (see above): University Police Department should go around the back of the buildings more often or place surveillance there because that is where most smokers go now. The "community enforcement" policy of the smoking ban does not work because people are apprehensive about confronting their peers.
