1024ÊÓƵ

Smoke-free, Tobacco-free, and Vape-free Campus

For many years, 1024ÊÓƵ has prohibited smoking in campus buildings and only allowed smoking in designated areas on campus. In 2018, McLennan moved the smoking locations to the outer boundaries of campus and reduced the number of locations. In recognition of the health risks, 1024ÊÓƵ will be a smoke-free, tobacco-free, and vape-free environment effective January 1, 2020.

The policy can be located at . For the purpose of this policy, the term "tobacco and vaping products" includes cigarettes, chew, vape pens, e-cigarettes, cigars, and any other form of tobacco or vaping.

Enforcement will be achieved through education, awareness, and a spirit of cooperation. Individuals noticing violations should strive to be non-confrontational and respectful when communicating this change or contact Campus Police to assist. The College does not require faculty, staff, and students to quit using tobacco products; however, we do expect individuals to comply with this change while on college property.

This change is part of the 1024ÊÓƵ's commitment to creating a healthy and sustainable environment for all members of our community, and is designed to be positive and health-directed.
