You're the one being ludicrous now court and I think you know it. Neither of us have an argument strong enough to hold up in some sort of theoretical state constitutional court, but you're presenting your paulestinian argument as if it's pure fact and I find that to be sort of offensive to my sensibilities.

The school is by no means overstepping their constitutional boundaries. However the intention of this ban is purely monetary and any other argument is naive.

I don't get how it's purely monetary?

My last post wasn't really intended to be taken as advice. Personally, I don't think smoking is any reason to consider dropping out or not attending college, but the point remains. Attending college isn't a right given to anyone, and as such, you can't blame a school for instituting policies that promote the well-being of the students/faculty so long as those rules don't infringe upon your inalienable or constitutional rights.

As a community member, there's nothing wrong with being in an uproar about a public school's policy like this; the country would be a better place if more people cared enough to challenge the system. However, my intention wasn't to get people not to be upset by this. I'm just defending the constitutionality of it.

Oh, and I sure hope I'm arguing my point as fact. I wouldn't be arguing it if I didn't think it was, in fact (no pun intended), fact.

Because it gives the university another thing to fine students for that they KNOW students will do anyway. Like rotating no parking zones with confusing caveats (no parking monday 4pm - 7pm, tuesday 6am - 7pm, parking by permit only until 9pm all on one sign as your trying to park your car?)
or dry campus laws.

more bans = more revenue.

And it turns out court and I are in agreement, just playing different sides of the fence.

edit: the fact jab was related to the paulestinian jab. The pursuit of happiness debate has been going on for 150 years ans still hasn't been resolved completely. You're using Ron Paul's (probably the most accurate I've heard) interpretation. Maybe there've been some more recent agreement reached but as far as I know it's still up for grabs.
