Whereas, many municipalities and universities are enacting smoke-free ordinances and policies;

Whereas, smoking on Cornell’s campus has become an area of conflict in recent years;

Whereas, Cornell and the Student Assembly seek to foster a healthy living environment for all students, faculty, and staff;

Whereas, the Student Assembly maintains the authority to determine community opinion regarding matters of student concern;

Be it therefore resolved, that the SA devise a series of methods to determine the sentiments of undergraduate students regarding smoking;

Be it further resolved, that this be done under the leadership of the Student Health & Communications Task Forces and the Committee on Residence & Community Life;

Be it finally resolved, that the results of this investigation be communicated via a report to be presented at the end of the fall semester and forwarded to the GPSA, EA, UA, and Faculty Senate.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ulysses Smith ‘13
Vice President of Outreach, Student Assembly
Chair, Student Assembly Committee on Residence & Community Life
