Smoking

     Well, a couple days back and I'm going to assume a couple eternities later, I crossed an incredibly ironic scene numerous times. Outside of SCCC, there are about 3-4 large signs standing on the sidewalk which clearly state, "No Smoking within 50 ft." Well, as you might have guessed by now, the irony lay in the fact that there were dozens of smokers around the sign, huffing and puffing away like they were on a treadmill.
I'm saddened to see such a scene. The signs were obviously put up because someone had either made a formal complaint about it, or the college was actually aware that there were dozens of smokers every day in their main entrance. Either way, someone actually cared about people's health and might I add, the law,  but despite their concerns, nothing happened. It says a lot about how powerful signs can be.
     You would think the cops would care too. Unfortunately, they don't seem to enforce it.
     What does this tell us? That signs are completely useless, or that people don't care to use them?
Whatever way, I would really appreciate it if I didn't have to breathe in noxious fumes on my way in and out of class everyday. I mean really now, couldn't you at least smoke 51 feet away from the school? If you're gonna be a jerk about smoking at least be a smart-aleck about it so people don't have to breathe it in. Think, people!
      Please and Thank You.
