More Georgia colleges tighten rules on tobacco use

As fall classes begin, Georgia Military College has officially stamped out smoking on its Augusta campus.

The school joins a growing list of Georgia colleges and universities that have implemented anti-tobacco policies on campus.

Several Georgia colleges began to take more interest in such restrictions after Emory University, an Atlanta institution with a nationwide reputation, declared in 2012 that it was becoming tobacco-free. That means it now prohibits all forms of tobacco use.

Some schools have stopped short of adopting this kind of tobacco-free rule. Instead they have implemented the somewhat less restrictive smoke-free rule. It bans the use of cigarettes, cigars and pipes, but does not prohibit smokeless tobacco.
