The institution’s smoke-free policy:
Administrative procedure
This procedure outlines District protocols for implementing Board Policy 0505, Smoke and Tobacco-Free District Property including informing students, employees, and visitors regarding enforcement and consequences for violation of the policy. The success of this program is dependent upon the voluntary cooperation of the smoking and nonsmoking public. The District recognizes the fact that individual health can be impaired both by the direct and by the secondary effects of smoking. The District, therefore, prohibits smoking and the use of tobacco products on all properties and in all vehicles owned or controlled by the District
Board of Trustees Policy
