In accordance with Vermont State law, the College is required to provide employees, students, and visitors with clearly stated guidelines on when and where they may smoke. The state policy restricts smoking in all places of public access. The policy has been formulated in recognition of the Surgeon General’s conclusion that:

• smoking is injurious to health;
• and involuntary (or second-hand) smoking is a cause of disease in nonsmokers

The College has designated its administrative, academic, and other public buildings SMOKE-FREE. Smoking is not permitted inside any of these buildings nor within 25 feet of entryways and exits of all buildings.
