Description:

Adopted by the BCC Board of Trustees March 20, 2001 (superseding the policy of August 31, 1994) 1. Smoking on College property by any person at any time anywhere is strictly prohibited. College property includes all College vehicles as well as real estate owned by the College. 2. Burlington County College recognizes the health hazards associated with smoking. These health hazards can have serious implications both for the smoker and the non-smoker. Enactment of this policy will promote the health and welfare of all individuals on campus and enhance the comfort of non-smokers, particularly those with health conditions aggravated by exposure to smoking. 3. The effect of this Policy is to prohibit smoking not only in all buildings but also on all areas of College property. This means that smoking is prohibited on the grounds, playing fields, walkways, roadways, parking lots, in and around the perimeter of any building. For purposes of this policy, "smoking" is defined as the burning of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other matter of substance that contains tobacco as well as the use of smokeless tobacco, snuff, or similar substance. This policy has been enacted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 383, Public Laws of 2005, and codified in N.J.S.A 26:3D-55 et SCQ. Any employee who violates this policy shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. Any student who violates the Policy shall be subject to disciplinary measures in accordance with the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct. Other individuals, including visitors to the College, who violate this policy, may be asked to leave the College property. All violators are also subject to sanctions provided by applicable laws and regulations. Signs designating Burlington County College a smoke free campus will be posted. Additionally, signs requesting individuals to extinguish their smoking materials prior to exiting vehicles will be placed in each parking lot. This policy will also be placed in the College Catalog, Student Handbook, and other selected publications.
