GW has a smoke free campus, but not everyone has gotten the message. I have taken it upon myself to remind folks that we have a smoke free campus -- and that they need to move to the sidewalk to smoke (public space). Of the handful of people who I have reminded, most have moved towards the sidewalk. One young woman told me that she thought it was just a suggestion! A young man said that I was not the police, and that I was harassing him. I happened to remind the same young man in the same spot a few days later, and was again accused of harassing him. Do know that my reminders are polite.
So I am finding myself smiling at the occasional cluster of smokers who are on the sidewalk.....
