Hertford JCR has narrowly passed a hotly-contested motion to ban smoking in the college bar at the request of the SCR.
Speaking to The Oxford Student, Johnson justified the move, saying: “There are very few smokers in college, but when they do smoke down in the bar it tends to affect everyone, because the bar is underground and thus poorly ventilated.
Johnson expressed faith in members of the college, but emphasised: “It remains to be seen how successful the ban will be.” Traditionally Hertford has been seen as an anti-smoking college due to the influence of former principal Sir Walter Bodmer, who discovered the link between smoking and cancer.
