The institution’s smoke-free policy:
Connecticut College is dedicated to providing a healthy environment for our faculty, staff and students. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has declared secondhand cigarette smoke a potent human carcinogen that poses great health risks. The EPA has also concluded that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) should be designated a "Group A" carcinogen. This includes the use of electronic delivery systems (commonly referred to as e-cigarettes), vaporizers, hookahs or similar devices.
Given the documented risk of secondhand smoke, smoking is prohibited inside all College buildings. Smoking is also prohibited within 20 feet of all College building exterior doorways. On campus grounds, smoking is permitted in designated areas only.
All employees share the responsibility for adhering to this policy and cooperating in its enforcement. Any concerns should be brought to the attention of the employee's supervisor or the Office of Human Resources.
