Auburn University announced Thursday it is banning smoking on all campus properties beginning Aug. 21.
And most readers responding to an AL.com online poll say they agree with the decision.
With 597 responses as of midnight, 62 percent supported the move to go smoke free.
Just 37 percent said they did not.
The ban prohibits students, faculty, staff, contractors and visitors from smoking on any university property, including in university-owned vehicles and properties leased or managed by the school.
It exempts smokeless tobacco such as chewing tobacco and smoking in private vehicles, though it includes new electronic cigarettes.
It will also include Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium, which presently features a designated smoking area.
However, Eric Smith, director of Health Promotion and Wellness Services in Auburn's Department of Student Affairs, said the ban will be phased in gradually for athletic events over a couple years.
The ban comes after Auburn University banned smoking within 25 feet of any university building a year ago.
