South Dakota's Department of Health awarded nearly $200,000 to 11 colleges and universities to control and prevent tobacco use. Two colleges there already have smoke-free buildings and police grounds for smokers in non-designated areas, according to the Black Hills Pioneer. The funds for these grants came from a measure approved by voters in 2006.
