University of Michigan is ready to clear the air. The Flint, Ann Arbor, and Dearborn campuses adopt a ban on smoking outdoors Friday. The new policy has been in the making for years.
The school says it will be enforced by voluntary compliance, peer and supervisory support but not fines.
Smoking will only be allowed on perimeter sidewalks along public thoroughfares, and inside personal vehicles.
The university has banned smoking inside its buildings since 1987, and the university's health system has prohibited smoking in and around its facilities since 1999.
U of M will become the state's largest university to ban smoking.
