We are committed to maintaining a healthy and safe environment for everyone on Purdue University's West Lafayette campus. As a reminder, Purdue's Smoke-Free Campus Policy outlines important guidelines regarding the use of smoking materials on university property.

Key Points of the Policy:

• Smoking and Vaping Prohibited: The use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes, and similar devices is strictly prohibited on campus, except in designated smoking areas. • University Vehicles: Smoking is also prohibited in all Purdue-owned or leased vehicles, both on and off campus. • Tobacco Product Restrictions: The sale, distribution, sampling, or advertisement of tobacco and nicotine products is prohibited on the West Lafayette campus and at Purdue-sponsored events. • Waste Disposal: Upon entering campus, individuals must extinguish any smoking materials and dispose of waste in appropriate receptacles at the campus perimeter.

Why This Policy Matters:

Secondhand smoke is classified as a Group A carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and has been linked to heart disease, cancer, and respiratory issues. By minimizing exposure, we aim to protect the well-being of our entire community.

We appreciate your cooperation in supporting Purdue's commitment to a healthy campus.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all.
