Keuka College Smoking/Vaping Policy

In keeping with Keuka College's commitment to wellness and fire safety, and due to the proven health risks of exposure to environmental smoke and vape emissions, the College has adopted the following policy: All students, employees, and visitors at Keuka College are entitled to a smoke and vaping free environment. All College buildings are smoke and vape free, unless otherwise posted. All students, employees, and visitors are expected to abide by a 50-foot, non-smoking, non-vaping perimeter around all campus buildings. This non-smoking and non-vaping perimeter has been established to minimize exposure to smoke and vape emissions, as well as to limit the amount of smoke/vape emission that enters buildings through doors, windows, vents, etc.

Outside smoking/vaping areas are designated by appropriate campus signage and ashtrays are available at each designated smoking/vaping location. Members of the campus community are asked to discard butts in an appropriate receptacle and not on building entryways/exits or campus grounds. In addition, benches are provided at most designated smoking/vaping locations for the comfort of the campus community and our guests.

Smoking and vaping is not allowed in any College-owned or leased vehicles. All guests at the College-including conference participants are expected to comply with this policy. (Effective September 27, 2017)
