This is good news, depending who you ask.

A growing number of colleges are banning or considering banning smoking and tobacco use in all forms on campus.

The risks from second-hand smoke and reduced costs of smoke-free dorms are driving the action.

This year's Surgeon General report shows tobacco use in people ages 18-to-25 is at a sky high rate nationwide.

Michigan State is not smoke free, but the University of Michigan went smoke free last year.
