Smoking is injurious to health;
and involuntary (or second-hand) smoking is a cause of disease in nonsmokers
The College has designated its administrative, academic, and other public buildings SMOKE-FREE. Smoking is not permitted inside any of these buildings nor within 30 feet of entryways and exits of all buildings.
