BOULDER, Colo. (AP)- The chancellor of the University of Colorado, Boulder has signed a policy that would generally ban smoking on campus starting Aug. 19.

The Daily Camera reports Chancellor Phil DiStefano signed the policy Wednesday. Campus spokeswoman Malinda Miller-Huey says university officials will explore where on campus they might put designated smoking areas.

The American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation based in California says there are roughly 1,130 college campuses around the country that are smoke-free.
