SMOKING AND TOBACCO USE POLICY
Pellissippi State Technical Community College recognizes the increasing
weight of scientific evidence that smoking is harmful not only to the active
smoker but also to the “passive” smoker who is exposed to others’ smoke.
Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control has reported that passive tobacco
smoke cannot be effectively removed from the workplace by ventilation or by air
filtration. Smoking is defined as “the lighting or carrying of a lighted cigarette,
pipe, or similar device.”
Smoking is prohibited in all College buildings and indoor facilities.
A d d i t i o n a l l y, smoking is prohibited in any campus vehicle. All building entrances
are posted as nonsmoking areas. Signs stating “No smoking beyond this point” are
posted at all entrances. Signs are posted at all exits stating “Smoking prohibited
at building entrances.”
The use of mouth tobacco (to include dipping, chewing, etc.) is prohibited in
all Pellissippi State buildings, facilities, and vehicles.
The policy applies to the entire College community, including employees, students
and visitors. It is the responsibility of all faculty, staff, and students to
adhere to, to enforce, and to inform visitors of the College’s smoking policy. If a
student continues to disregard the posting, he/she will be reported to the dean of
Students Affairs. If an employee continues to disregard the posting, he/she will
be reported to the director of Human Resources.
