1. SMOKING ON CAMPUS A SMOKING ZONE

2. SMOKING AREAS ON CAMPUS OUR GOAL WAS TO SURVEY OUR PEERS IN ORDER TO DISCOVER THE EFFECTS OF THE RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED SMOKING BAN ON CAMPUS WE WANTED TO LEARN THROUGH OUR SURVEY IF CREATING DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS ON CAMPUS WAS SOMETHING THE STUDENTS WOULD SUPPORT

3. OUR POSITION WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS UNJUST TO HAVE OUR SMOKING PRIVILEGES UNREMITTINGLY REVOKED WE BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS ON CAMPUS WE WANTED TO KNOW IF OUR PEERS AGREED

4. WHOM WE POLLED WE SURVEYED 20 PEOPLE ALL 20 WERE STUDENTS AT ASU 19 OF THOSE SURVEYED ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 22

5. BREAKING DOWN THE SURVEY WE ASKED TWELVE QUESTIONS FIVE QUESTIONS DEALT WITH DEMOGRAPHICS WE ASKED IF THE RESPONDENT IDENTIFIED AS A SMOKER WE ASKED IF THEY AGREED WITH THE BAN WE ASKED IF THEY WOULD SUPPORT SMOKING AREAS ON CAMPUS WE ASKED WHERE THEY THOUGHT THESE SMOKING AREAS SHOULD BE THE OBJECTIVE OF OUR SURVEY WAS TO DISCOVER HOW STUDENTS FELT ABOUT THE RECENT BAN ON SMOKING. WE ALSO WANTED TO KNOW WHO IDENTIFIED AS A SMOKER AND WHO AGREED WITH ESTABLISHING DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS.

6. BREAKING DOWN THE DEMOGRAPHICS

7. BREAKING DOWN THE RESULTS

8. WHO AGREED WITH THE BAN? SMOKER NOBODY IDENTIFIED AS A REGULAR SMOKER. OCCASIONAL SMOKER OF THOSE WHO IDENTIFIED AS AN OCCASIONAL SMOKER, ONLY 2 SAID THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE BAN, THE OTHER 4 SAID THAT THEY WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE BAN. NON-SMOKER OF THOSE WHO IDENTIFIED AS A NON-SMOKER, 3 SAID THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE BAN, 7 SAID THEY WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE BAN, AND 1 SAID THEY DID NOT CARE EITHER WAY.

9. WOULD YOU SUPPORT IMPLEMENTING SMOKING AREAS? WHEN ASKED IF THEY WOULD SUPPORT SMOKING AREAS, ONLY 5 PEOPLE IN THE CLASS SAID NO. 10 PEOPLE SAID THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT THESE AREAS. THE OTHER 5 SAID THEY WERE EITHER INDIFFERENT OR MILDLY SUPPORTIVE.

10. WHERE SHOULD THESE AREAS BE?

11. HAS THE BAN MADE A DIFFERENCE? 6 OUT OF 20 PARTICIPANTS CLAIM THE BAN HAS MADE NO DIFFERENCE AND SMOKING IS STILL PRESENT ON CAMPUS 11 OUT OF 20 PARTICIPANTS SAY THEY STILL SEE SMOKING ON CAMPUS, BUT IT HAS DECREASED ONLY 3 PARTICIPANTS SAY THERE IS NO LONGER THE PRESENCE OF SMOKING ON CAMPUS

12. SO NOW WHAT………

13. CONCLUSION THE DATA WAS AMBIGUOUS. THE RESULTS OF OUR SURVEY SHOW NO TRUE CORRELATION BETWEEN THOSE WHO SMOKE AND THOSE WHO AGREE WITH THE BAN. THE MAJORITY OF THOSE SURVEYED DID SAY THEY WOULD AGREE WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SMOKING ZONES ON CAMPUS. TO MOST RESPONDENTS, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO REMARKABLE DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF SMOKERS SEEN ON CAMPUS. THEREFORE WE ARGUE THAT INSTALLING DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE CAMPUS. NOT ONLY WOULD IT PROVIDE THOSE WHO SMOKE A PLACE FOR REPOSE, BUT IT WOULD ALSO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SMOKING IN COMMONLY TRAFFICKED AREAS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE A PLACE TO GO.
