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. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list@ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
