A big snub to student smoking in Wisconsin

Here?s more evidence that smoking is slowly but surely heading for the ashtray of history. UW-Stout in Menomonie, about 200 miles northwest of Madison in Dunn County, just banned smoking and the use of all tobacco products on its entire campus, including outside in parking lots, on lawns and sidewalks. The ban kicked in Wednesday. Classes are to begin next week. It wasn?t faculty, administrators and parents who forced the change. It was the students themselves.
