There will be no more clouds of cigarette smoke at Wells College.

The institution in Aurora announced Tuesday that the entire campus will now be smoke-free in an effort to promote health and wellness for the college community.

"Our discussion and research led us to the conclusion that Wells College will be a healthier, more comfortable living and working environment as a smoke-free campus," President Lisa Marsh Ryerson said in a news release. "In doing so, we join many other colleges, universities, hospitals and workplaces in recognizing the public health and safety benefits of a smoke-free environment."

The college's previous smoking policy banned smoking in the academic buildings and residence halls.
