The tobacco ban at the University of Kentucky includes outdoor areas and applies to chew, pipes, cigars and snuff as well as cigarettes. Kentucky leads the nation in the production of burley tobacco, and has some of the nation's highest smoking rates.So far no word from the UK Health Police about junk food and soft drinks, which are even less healthy.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;

4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
Hopefully they will come to their senses, lift the ban and liberally distribute ashtrays and spitoons throughout campus.

ReplyDeleteAt least condoms prevent disease, rather than cause it.
