A step too far?

[mindstalk]

I hate smoking as much as the next person whose father died of lung cancer, but IU banning smoking from all of campus seems a bit much to impose on the addicted self-medicators. Not from all buildings, that's been done; from all property, even stepping outside the building.

I'd have to say that, yes, that is going too far.

Banning smoking indoors in every public place only makes sense from my PoV. OTOH, banning it out outdoors seems both extreme and also like something that should not be possible to legislate.

This is a stupid idea. Really stupid.
