A SMOKE & TOBACCO FREE<br />
COLLEGE<br />
Broward College is committed to promoting a safe<br />
and healthy environment for its students, faculty,<br />
staff, and visitors. Extensive research shows that<br />
tobacco use, including smoking and breathing<br />
secondhand smoke, is a health hazard. Accordingly,<br />
Broward College has implemented a smoke and<br />
tobacco-free policy. In accordance with Broward<br />
College policy 6Hx2-7.<strong>21</strong>, the use, distribution or sale<br />
of tobacco or objects or devices intended to simulate<br />
tobacco use, including but not limited to cigarettes,<br />
cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, snuff, vapor devices<br />
and electronic cigarettes is prohibited in all indoor<br />
and exterior areas of all property and facilities<br />
owned, leased or operated by the College. The<br />
prohibited areas include, but are not limited to, atria,<br />
entranceways, enclosed hallways within buildings,<br />
parking lots, grounds, rooftops, courtyards and exit<br />
ways. Smoking is prohibited in College owned or<br />
leased vehicles, whether or not on College property.<br />
Tobacco products, on the ground or in the waterways<br />
creates litter and causes harm to the environment<br />
and animals. Tobacco products contain toxic<br />
chemicals that pollute the environment and are only<br />
biodegradable under ideal conditions which can take<br />
anywhere from two to 25 years to degrade.<br />
