The University of Southern Maine in September 2002 forbade smoking in its dorms and forced smokers to walk at least 50 feet （15 m） away from buildings. This fall， they will have to go even farther. The school is one of a growing number of colleges and universities finding new ways to restrict smoking on campus. According to Harvard School of Public Health， 29 percent of colleges in USA smoked in 1999， an increase of 28 % in just 6 years. Live and let live， this applies for smoking.
南缅因州大学去年九月禁止大学生在宿舍内吸烟，迫使他们走到50英尺（15米）之外吸烟。今年秋天，烟民还得走更远、更远。越来越多的大学与学院找到全新的办法限制学生在校园内吸烟，南缅因州大学是其中之一。据哈佛大学公共健康学院统计，1999年美国大学有29%的学生吸烟——6年上升了28%。对于吸烟，策略是：自己活，也让别人活。
