Georgia State University has banned smoking and tobacco use on the majority of the Atlanta campus.

It will be prohibited on all university owned or leased locations, indoors and outdoors, in garages and parking lots and in all college owned or leased vehicles, under action the University Senate took last week.

University housing will designate limited smoking and tobacco use in some exterior areas, officials said.

About a dozen colleges in Georgia and more than 600 colleges nationwide have campus smoking bans.
