How come colleges don't allow you to smoke in your own dorm room?

I would not say I completely dislike the smell of cigarettes. I like a good cigar, but I do not need the smell to linger in my living space. I will pass.

I smell like cigarettes right now, but it's a pleasant smell.

Once you go black, you never go back...

Because you don't own the room. Simply renting someone else's property.


They want to prevent the value going down, which smoking indoors causes. It brings a smell that doesn't leave (and it's not pleasant) and costs the walls and ceiling with tar.

If you have an older dorm room with operable windows I don't see the problem. Or Window hvac units that can suck the smoke out. Then clean the filter often. With the newer dorms some or more like an office building design where the HVAC return sucks in the smoke then that circulates all over the floor or the building, depending on the HVAC design.
