Smoking ban draws out stricter rules

IUS Horizon • August 26, 2012
A new Indiana law was introduced this summer that will have consequences on smokers at IU Southeast. Effective as of July 1, this law bans smoking within eight feet of any public building. Individuals who are caught smoking within eight feet of a public building on campus, such as Knobview or Crestview, will be cited for an infraction. “The fee won’t be toward the university because it is a state law,” Charlie Edelen, IUS Police chief, said. “If we do cite somebody for that, they’d be going to Floyd County and paying a fee.”
