Smoking on the Balcony Banned in Claremont Hall

A friend writes in to say that Claremont Hall's status as a "green dorm" has made it impossible for him/her to smoke on the balconies, without receiving menacing remarks from that dorms R.A.s. Apparently smokers aren't allowed to smoke anywhere near the building.

One wonders what, if anything, prohibiting smoking has to do with global warming, but that would, of course, imply that there is any thinking behind the campus wide movement to mandate green buildings in the first place.

So they enforce the banning of legal smoking, but illegal drinking is quite acceptable, if not encouraged by the RA's Zain and Sandy.

It all depends. If she is smoking cigarettes, they probably want to shut the smoker down as a political power control issue. If it is anything else, they usually don't even want to acknowledge it's existence.

Does it have anything to do with the smell of smoke drifting in to people's dorms?
