Northern Illinois University freshmen Taylor Krause (left), 23, smokes a cigarette and talks with Sam Westberg, 18, who is holding his vaporizer, on the northwest corner of Russell Road and Lucinda Avenue — across the street from campus — between classes on Tuesday, August 25, 2015. Portions of the northern side of Lucinda Avenue are city owned, giving tobacco-using NIU students a space to smoke close to campus. As of July 1, 2015 the NIU campus implemented a smoke-free policy.
