Blog Post 2: Twenty-one is the new eighteen

For USF, it looks like "the smoking garden" will soon just be "the garden” because on June 1, it will be illegal to purchase any tobacco products under the age of 21, according to CBS SF Bay Area.

Jim Wood, D-Healdsburg, an Assemblyman, explained to the SF Chronicle, that raising the age will assist with disabling teen smoking.

How is this new smoking law going to be enforced on USF’s campus?

According to USF’s website there are only two locations on campus where smoking is allowed.

Will the entirety of the campus prohibit smoking when this law goes into effect or will campus cops and resident advisors swing by the smoking garden to do random ID checks? What about graduate or Fromm Institute students?

In less than three months perhaps these questions will be answered.
