If you are going to the University of Regina to take classes, do business or anything else after August 1, you can forget about lighting up a cigarette or smoking anything, as the facility will be going smoke-free. The U of R says this is a continuation of efforts to have people at the university whether they be a student, staff or a visitor are in a safe, healthy and clean environment. Darren Cherwaty is the U of R’s director of health, safety and wellness. He says this adds the university to a long list of post-secondary institutions in North America going smoke-free. The policy also means the advertising or sale of tobacco products on campus will be prohibited and the growing of cannabis will not be allowed in any of the residences.
