Abstract: Campus is a place that is used as a teaching resource. This place is a sacred place in terms of the different rules to be obeyed. One of the rules that are made is to ban smoking on campus. The research was conducted among students of Telkom University using qualitative methods, by making the question of how students view the smokers reacting to this rule. What do they do when they are not desperate to smoke? What is done by the students to fulfill the desire of smoking? The results stated that the students look for an alternative to withstand the craving for smoking by eating candy, or by visiting a nearby shop or cafeteria. They were only allowed to smoke in the local smoking areas. In addition, there are students who refrain from smoking. Those who are unable to withstand the desire of smoking go to cafeterias or the bathrooms frequently. There is also a desire to switch smoking with another activity. If someone cannot withstand the craving, he or she is moved to boarding. Some of these students ask for permission to smoke from those around them when the cravings become unbearable.
