- Problem that has been hindering Baruch community for years
For issue, I am doing smokers smoke in front of Baruch College. Just like all education entities across the country, Baruch is a smoke-free zone. However, there are many smokers, mainly students, that do not obey that law. Most of these law-breakers are, even boldly, smoking right in front of the school’s entrances as if those are the designated spots where they are allowed to do so. For example, the entrance of 23rd St Building on Lexington Ave, the entrances of VC Building on 24th St and 25th St, and entrance of library building. I have been studying in Baruch for four years and this issue was and still is lingering today. Not only that, these smokers usually smoke with their friends as if it is like a social gathering. Most of these violators smoke in between the classes time- mainly around 1-2pm. I did a rough estimate headcount and do not be surprised that sometimes the number reaches about 100.
Will, this issue continues to foster, or will someone or some party tries to put it to an end?
