Section 28Smoking PolicyThe smoking policy is based on the University’s commitment to a wellness philosophy.Whereas environmental tobacco smoke contains human carcinogens; and whereas absorption ofenvironmental tobacco smoke has been documented from involuntary smoking in the worksite; andwhereas exposure to environmental tobacco smoke occurs for individuals within the same ventilationsystems as active smokers; and where as epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of lungcancer for individuals exposed to environmental tobacco smoke: no smoking is permitted in any Universityof the Incarnate Word community facilities or buildings.All employees and students share in the cooperative responsibility of compliance with this policy. Whenconflicts arise, the health of the nonsmoker will prevail. Employees and students who do not comply withthis policy will be subject to the same disciplinary actions that accompany noncompliance with otherUniversity rules and/or policies.Source: “Smoking at the Workplace, Position Statement of the American Cancer Society,” 4.Section 29Vendor Exhibitor Policy (Back to TOC)Vendors are generally confined to exhibit space at the Student Center.
