Smoking and second-hand smoke have been found to pose health hazards. To provide a safe and healthy environment for working and learning, WSC restricts smoking and vaping on campus with the exception of designated outdoor areas. Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas.
Smoking is defined as the inhalation, burning, or carrying of any lighted tobacco or nicotine product that produces second-hand smoke or vapor (this includes vape pens, e-cigs, etc.). Cigarette butts, packaging, chew containers, chew bottles, and other tobacco debris must be disposed of properly in appropriate waste receptacles.
Campus buildings are posted with “No Smoking” signs notifying all visitors of the smoke-free environment. Smoking is permitted within 20 feet of designated waste receptacles which are located in Parking Lots 1, 1.2, 3, 8, 9, 10, and 11.
Please review the Tobacco Use Map to see these locations.
