The present study extends research on campus smoking bans by examining where smokers are violating the policy at a large university in the southeastern region of the United States.
The data collection was conducted by one graduate student from the university in August of 2014.
A global positioning system device was used to collect the geo-coordinates of littered cigarette butts as a proxy measure for smoking violations.
A hot spot analysis found a number of spatial concentrations on campus, largely around classroom and administrative buildings along with parking lots and garages.
The implications of such findings can direct enforcement to target these areas in order to reduce offenses and fulfill the initial goals of policy-makers and university administrators who support smoke-free campuses.
本研究通过调查美国东南部一所大型大学吸烟者违反校园禁烟政策的地点，拓展了对校园禁烟的研究。
数据收集由该大学的一名研究生于2014年8月进行。
使用全球定位系统设备收集乱扔烟头的地理坐标，作为违反吸烟规定的替代指标。
热点分析发现校园内存在一些空间集中区域，主要围绕教学楼、行政楼以及停车场和车库。
这些发现的意义在于指导执法工作针对这些区域，以减少违规行为，实现支持无烟校园的政策制定者和大学管理人员的初始目标。
