Should cigarettes be sold at universities?

Star's picture

I went to a bread shop in our university last night to buy some snacks. As I was paying, I noticed that on the wall in front of me (behind the cashier) was a big rack of cigarettes. I'm not sure how long it's been there but I had never noticed it before.

I know that the supermarket on campus sells cigarettes but I was surprised to see that our bread shop was now also selling them.

I thought about this more as I rode back to my apartment. Should universities be selling cigarettes to students? Should it be that easy for students to buy cigarettes? It seems like a university campus would be the one place in China where cigarettes should NOT be sold. 

What do you think about this issue? Should universities be allowed to sell cigarettes in China? Are universities that cell cigarettes encouraging their students to smoke? 

I look forward to reading your comments.

In my opinion,cigarette should not be allowed to be entered the university,it does harm to our health,why do boys prefer to smoke?One of the reasons i think ,is that they think they looks cool when they are smoking.But i think it's sick and an aweful behavior.Hoever,everyone ought to realize cigarette will destory our body even our whole life in some degree.

No,I think cigarettes can't be allowed to be sold in the school,for it's bad for the students' health.I think we should advocate "NO SMOKING"in the school.It is one of the effective way to resist them to smoke from their adolescence.

As college students,we should know what is good and what is bad. College students should distinguish smoking is harmful for their health. We are young adults,smoking is comman in uiniversities.It is OK,after all we are no longer juveniles.

I don not agree with this beavior ,because I hate smoking very much.It is not only bad for the smoker's health , it is also bad for the people around.You have the right to harm your own health ,but you have no right to deprived of my health. If the smoke are sold in the universities ,it will mean that university are agree smoke ,which is not a good thing.

I think cigarettes can be allowed to sell at universities,but the university government should ban smoking in the school!!! In my dormitory,two guys smoke everyday!and the other one smokes sometime!! Damn it! I am really fed up with it!
I just don't understand why people like to smoke!! Have the smokers ever think of the feeling of those who are near them when they are smoking?

I don't think cigarettes can be sold in universities.Because it is harmful for students to smoke.And it will make a bad influence in the universities.

I hate people who smoke around me.The smell is terrible and also harmful to us ,who do not smoke,especially for child and pregnant women.I think that students shouldn't smoke in the classroom or outside the classroom.The smoke has a bad effect on the classmates.
I do not agree with the school to sell cigarette!

As far as I am concerned , cigarettes should be forbidden in universities because they do harm to our bodies and we should keep away from them. Cigarettes are sold in universities more or less encouraging students to smoke .It was reported that some universities' students wanted to make more friends or wanted to be more intimate with his/her friends ,they learned to somke.Therefore,cigarettes should not be sold at universities .

There is no doubt that universities should't be selling cigarettes to students. Students just feel cool but nothing about smoking.

We are the adults.We have the ability to recognize what is good or bad.It is own choice to bug the cigarette or not.We are the college students,we must be responsible to our self.

Cigarettes shouldn't be sold at universities.Smoking is not a good habit for students and it will not benifit for health,and students should cultivate a good habit of life style.

When I am in deep depression ,I tend to ask my male friends offer me a cigarette to refresh myself 。I think cigarette should be allowed to sell , but the scale should be small 。

As we all known,smoking is bad for our health.So I want to appeal to those who indulge in cigarettes as possible as I can.Cigarettes should be forbidded to sell in any schools,because students are the flowers of the country.By a way,I will marry someone who don't smoke.

I really hate the smell of cigarette.It make me breathing difficult.And i dont't koow why the boys and some girls are crazy about smoking.It shouldn't be sold in our university if they given the health of students.

From my point of view, I'm not object to sell cigarettes in university,but don't get me wrong,I don't mean that we encourage students to smoke.The university is a place where can develop our ability to think independently,even though we can sell cigarettes in university,you should be control your yourself not to buy it.

i really can not understand the thoughts of people who are smoking,its a bad behaviour.especially for student.

aldrich's picture

yes,I think it can be sold in the university.Even if It is not allowed to be sold in the university the people who want the cigarettes can go to the other place to buy.So if someone  want to buy the cigarettes he will buy and those who do not want to,they will not buy them nomatter where they are!

  I  think  cigarettes  shouldn't  be sold  at universities.First of all, smoking is harmful to health. Cigarettes, which contain large amounts of harmful substances, the various organs of the human body would have caused some damage in degree.

Secondly, smoking can also cause adverse effects on the environment. The release of harmful substances in cigarettes into the air will pollute the environment.

To be frank, we have no right to forbid the sellers to sell the cigarettes to students.

To some extent ,what we should do is just improve our consciousness.

As the saying goes ,man in the mirror.If  you really know what should you do,althougt there is temptation everywhere,you can make your choice.

Some people need it!Even if cigarette can't not be sold in campus,they can get it by some ways.

  I  did  saw  this  phenomenon  several  days ago ! There  is  no  doubt  that   smoking  is  bad   for  our  heath. But  some people  has  already  get  into  the  habit  of  smoking ! Not  only  the  person  who   is   smoking  will  ruin  his life ,  but  also the surrounding  people  will  have a negative  influences. We  college   students ,should  not  smoke  in  the  campus.  we  are  the  future of  our  country ,so  we  should  exercise  everyday,and  build  our  body  to  should  the  future responsibility   and  make   a  big  contribution  to make  our  country  stronger and  stronger!

Students in university are adults. They should know what they should do and what they shouldn't do and they should be responsible for their life.  Mostly everyone knows that smoking is harm to health ,but they still smoke. So, I think although universities aren't allowed to sell cigarettes, the  students in university who like smoking  also can buy cigarettes from other places. If our country don't have a clear low ,it will do nothing to smoking.

"Smoking is harmful."--this sologan is  printed on the cigarette box.This sologan is a common sense.Universities is a place where we students accept education and a pure place .Selling cigarettes means some stundents could buy it.Those students may think it's convenient,but in the end they also do harm to themselves.Though we can't prevent others from smoking,we can keep our campus pure without being polluted .

the cigarettes' selling  is quite common here in China. Outside the campus, cigarettes are sold everywhere and anyone who wants to buy it can easily get it.

Of course it is bad to university students. Students who smoke damage the image of  university students directly. Because university students are supposed to be educated and well trained, we should behave better than others.

Since the cigarettes manufacturers spread their products here and there, it is difficult to avoid those students who are lack of self-controlling.  In some aspects, i think it would be more safely to say that shopkeepers want to make money rather than encourage students to smoke from the  original purpose.

In my opinion,I think cigarettes should not be sold in universities even all of the students are already adults.If there were no limitaion for selling cigarettes,what would the society become?Does anyone can control himself well?

we still need some places which we can purify ourselves and remain some space for those who are nonsmoker.

I think it is not suitable for bread shops to sell cigarettes. But selling in the supermarket is ok.  Because university  studends are adults. They have their freedom and thoughts about their life. It makes no difference whether there are cigarettes sold in schools. Also I don't think universities that sell cigarettes encouraging their students to smoke.

As for me , i do not like people who are additcted to smoking.

In some ways ,university is like a public place ,and I think its not appropriate to smoke in public.Thus, I think cigarettes cannot be sold at universities.

Furthermore,smoking does have a greatly devastating influence on our health .So I think we had better stay far away from cigarettes.

College students are not children anymore.they have their right to choose whether smoking or not. So,it's ok to sell cigarettes at universties.If you care about your health you would not buy it even though it was sold around you.But if you are addicted to smoking,you will find any way to get it no matter it was sold at your school or not.
