Smoking and other tobacco use is prohibited in any College interior space, including, for example, corridors, classrooms, laboratories, offices (including private offices), lobbies, dining facilities and restrooms.
Smoking and other tobacco use is permitted in College exterior areas except that:

Tobacco users shall not impede easy access to any entrance/exit to a building.
Smoking and tobacco use is prohibited inside the smoke-free zones located at the entrance ways of the College buildings or in any other area as delimited.
The College may restrict tobacco use in certain exterior areas where warranted by concerns for safety, cleanliness, convenience, or by concern for the comfort of others.

Penalties for violation of the College's provisions for smoking and other tobacco use shall be disciplinary action in accordance with general College provisions for misconduct.
