Tobacco Products Policy


To establish College policy which minimizes exposure of building occupants, indoor surfaces, and air distribution systems to tobacco products.

Procedure

Virginia Executive Order 41 (2006) Banning Smoking in State Offices and Vehicles bans smoking in state offices or vehicles and authorizes agency heads, including higher education, to set appropriate guidelines for smoking outside state-owned properties.

Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes and any other tobacco products, is prohibited in all College buildings and vehicles.

Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes and any other tobacco products, is prohibited within 25 feet of College building entries, outdoor air intakes, and operable windows.

Employees may use designated outside smoking areas during their normal work breaks. Institution-provided ash urns should be used to dispose of smoking material waste to avoid littering and limit fire hazards.
