Harvard prides itself on being different, as anyone who has taken a Crimson Key tour can explain. One property of Harvard that isn't on any tour, though, is the unique situation of smokers on campus.

So where does this leave the Harvard smoker? Groups of students gather outside the dorms--at least 100 yards away in the case of first-years--as cigarette smoke slowly curls around their heads. It then drifts into the atmosphere, safely away from the clean...
