Enforcement of the tobacco ban at the Nov. 28 UK football home game will rely on the same method used on every other part of campus — self-compliance.

Anthany Beatty, vice president for public safety, said the university would rely on every member of the community to report violations of the policy, and punishments would be no different than on any other part of campus.

Police will be instructed to approach people who are violating the ban, but they will not be more involved in enforcing the ban than anyone else at the stadium, Beatty said.

“Remember again, this is not a criminal offense so our police officers will not be involved in this unless it becomes a public safety issue,” Beatty said.

Brendan Space, a finance sophomore and smoker, said the ban would not stop him from smoking at the stadium and does not think it will be possible to enforce the ban.

“They can’t stop underage drinking so how are they going to stop smoking?” Space said.

Beatty said if an employee were found to be violating the ban, Human Resources would handle the matter. If a student violated it, the matter would be taken care of through the Code of Conduct.

Visitors violating the ban could be asked to leave the campus if they do not comply.

Hilary Caballero, a marketing sophomore and nonsmoker, said the policy further encourages her to never start smoking.

“It’s just going to make me not want to do it even more,” Caballero said.

At the game in November, student and employee groups will hand out literature and information about the policy, its implementation and campus expectations, Beatty said.

“The approach will be again just everyone informing those who are offenders that tobacco products and smoking is not allowed on the property,” Beatty said.

Beatty said people would continue participating in cleanup efforts the days after games to take care of discarded cigarette butts in and around the stadium.
