Chancellor says banning cigarette sales on campus in line with KU values

The days of buying cigarettes at Kansas University’s student unions may be nearing an end.
KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said a ban on cigarette sales would gain support. 
“Perhaps now the time has come to take a stand and make a statement and I see the ban probably more as a statement of the values of the university than as a way to change the nature of students' use of tobacco,” she told KTKA-TV.
Without discussion, the Kansas Board of Regents on Thursday asked university chief executives to come up with a policy on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products on campuses.
The university officials are scheduled to have a recommendation for the board in March.
KU’s Lawrence campus and Kansas State University are the only two of the six regents universities that allow cigarette sales on campus, according to a regents staff memo.All six state universities prohibit smoking in all university buildings, residence halls, student unions, centers and university vehicles, according to a memo from the regents staff.
