New efforts are underway to make American college campuses and public housing off limits to cigarette smoking. Twenty colleges in the United States recently received grants to help make their campuses tobacco free. And in November, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro announced that smoking will become illegal at all public housing over the next 18 months. The federal housing department has over one million homes. “Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, healthy home free from harmful second-hand cigarette smoke,” Castro said. The move to ban smoking at public housing units and college campuses follows approval of state laws banning smoking at most workplaces.
