I currently attend a smoke-free college and…

Native Americans have been known to send smoke signals to one another. This is just one of the various means of communication they use. The movie “Smoke Signals” paints a picture of poor communication turned good. The film contains aspects that are identical in structure to that of a real smoke signal. Like smoke signals the way the characters express their emotions can die down, yet it can also be kindled and increase in magnitude. The title of the movie “Smoke Signals” signifies the feelings…

our right to choose what we do to our bodies and where. Others think that the bans are the safest option for everyone.

Despite having friends and family addicted to smoking, I firmly believe that CTC should remain smoke-free. There are several reasons to to keep the smoking ban…

Notice that the smoke plate in Figure 38 is more or less flush with the front brick while the smoke plate in Figure 39 is installed in a recessed position. I have not noticed any difference in the efficacy of the two locations. For cosmetic reasons, I prefer not to have a smoke plate on the same plane (flush) as the front brick but recessed at least 1” up to 2”.

If that seems inhumane, then why is it still legal to smoke in many public places or in the car while those in surrounding areas have no escape? According to the Centers for Disease Control, “More than 480,000 deaths occur annually” due to smoking, including secondhand smoke. Why do we keep killing ourselves? Why…
