The student government at North Dakota State University reaffirmed its support Sunday night for a smoking ban on campus.
Students voted for a campuswide smoking ban last spring, with 62 percent favoring a ban. The election had nearly 3,900 students participating, a record for NDSU student elections.
NDSU staff and faculty will soon be polled on their opinions about a smoking ban.
"We really want to impress on them that this is something the students want and continue to want," said Jeb Lockwood, a student senator representing off-campus students.
NDSU now allows smoking outside except for within 50 feet of building entrances.

In March, a proposal to ban smoking for the all 11 campuses in the North Dakota University System failed at a meeting of the state Board of Higher Education. Members favored having campuses develop their own policies.
