I’ve occasionally noticed people who don’t live in my apartment complex sitting in their cars.  I’d always assumed they were meeting their dealer, but when I noticed one of the drivers today wearing scrubs and taking a long drag on a cigarette, it finally clicked:  they were getting around the campus smoking ban.  So by taking steps to “promote health” by disallowing smoking anywhere on campus, the university has managed to convince people to hop in their cars for a 30-second drive to a parking lot where they can smoke, thereby burning added gasoline.  I guess it all comes down to their belief that the inconvenience will force people to quit, thereby making the added pollution a temporary thing.
