Kortney Rhoades Policy Brief - Smoking on Campus

Lyrics:

[Chorus:]
I see people smoking next to someone else
I prefer that they keep it to their self
If they don't stop, here's what I'll do
Give a ticket or two
At five-dollar cost

[Verse 1:]
I've asked about smoke and I've learned some things
And to me it seems strange
That we still haven't changed
There's smoke in my lungs, and they're who's to blame
Yes I mind, that they smoke on campus
Campus, they don't listen that's for real
Smoke in my face and I can't deal
Tried in '03, with a new policy
You can't keep thinking that they don't smoke still
Cause they smoke still, blow smoke all up in our face
Quite honestly I can't stand the taste ah
So I suggest we make a little change ah
And only good health is what we could gain
Should be there for us, you should care for us
You should have our trust, but you don't
Tried to make it that, twenty-five feet from that
Building door, but it just don't work
There's no advertising, a ban of sampling
And there's absolutely no smoking in buildings
Blow smoke over shoulders, there's no enforcement
Of smoking rules, got secondhand smoke
Now we all have to worry
Now there's a risk we could die
From all the smoke that takes place
And all the toxins inside

[Chorus:]
If they don't stop, here's what I'll do
Give a ticket or two
At five-dollar cost


[Verse 2:]
Smoke is deadly, yet kids smoke if they want to
On campus if they want to, they'll smoke right in front of you
Thirty thousand on campus
And nine thousand of them smoke
This is the truth it isn't a joke (a joke)
One time, we've all been told one time
Smoke can cause cancer later in your time
Four thousand chemicals from secondhand smoke
Surgeon general says it kills kids and adults
Three thousand die a year, yet they're not ashamed
They still smoke, where they can't, we both know
We know, people hate spending money
On the little things
I hate the fact they can smoke near me
Lets start ticketing
You love your friends so somebody should be doing something to save them

[Chorus:]
I see people smoking next to someone else
I prefer that they keep it to their self
If they don't stop, here's what I'll do
Give a ticket or two
At five-dollar cost
