SMOKING

For the purposes of this policy, smoking shall mean all uses of tobacco, including but not limited to cigar smoking, cigarette smoking, pipe smoking, and chewing tobacco.

In order to protect students and staff who choose not to smoke from an unhealthy environment, the Board prohibits smoking within buildings or facilities owned or leased by the District. Smoking is not allowed except in designated smoking areas and campus parking lots which are at least twenty-five feet from buildings.

These designated areas will be clearly marked as “Smoking Areas” and are noted on campus maps. All other smoking and tobacco use in and on College of the Redwoods is expressly prohibited. Furthermore, smoking is not allowed in college owned or leased vehicles.

Violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

Tobacco and related products will not be sold or promoted on any other campus of the District.
