A few weeks ago, new smoking areas were placed in front of the College of Law building and the College of Liberal Arts building. This time, the smoking area is not just a green line on the road. A newly made container box was installed. The box is like a small room with seats and tables. There are also two fans so cigarette smoke can ventilate. Before installing this new smoking area, there were green lines on the road. The extent of the green lines was so small that all the smokers could not stand in there. Because of this, many smokers came out of the lines and smoked. This made many inconveniences to not only smokers but also non-smokers. Non-smokers had to smell the cigarette smoke. Moreover, the green lines of College of Law building and College of Liberal Arts building were placed too far away from the entrance. Since this, smokers had to walk long way to smoke cigarettes. One smoker who was smoking in the new smoking area said, ”In some way, this smoking box can be inconvenient for smokers, but generally, I think it is a good idea. We don’t give discomforts to non-smokers. If some points would be improved, this smoking area will be much better. ” Now, many smokers are using this new smoking area. However, still, some people smoke outside of it. A non-smoker in the College of Liberal Arts said, “I think it is a really good idea. I do not have to smell the cigarette smoke when I walk around this area. Every morning this place was full of cigarette smoke but now, it is gone. I hope Chung-Ang University makes more smoking areas like this.”
