San Diego Community College District

1.0           FUNCTION

1.1           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, discourages the practices of smoking but provides for opportunities for those who smoke as long as there is no impact upon the rights and health of non-smokers.  It is not the intent that the program be a prohibition of smoking, rather it is intended to recognize the individual rights of the smoking/nonsmoking public. 

1.2            Smoking is prohibited inside any building or in any outdoor area within 20’ of a main exit, entrance, or operable window of any building owned and occupied or leased and occupied by the District.

1.3            Smoking is prohibited inside any District owned vehicle.

1.4            Human Resources will provide information to new employees regarding the District’s smoking regulations and the availability of a Smoking Control Program.
