Tulane University
SMOKING POLICY
- The following smoking policy was developed to decrease the exposure of staff and students to unwanted second-hand tobacco smoke. It was approved by the Senate on September 8, 1997, but items 1, 2, and 4b are from the 1996 Policy.

1. The following policy will hold for smoking at all units of Tulane University, unless a stronger policy is imposed within an individual school or department. This Policy is consistent with current health issues and all city ordinances and other governmental laws.
2. Except in designated smoking-permitted areas, smoking is prohibited in all Tulane University buildings.
3. PRIVATE/INDIVIDUAL OFFICES Smoking is not permitted unless the room has an individual heating/ventilation~air conditioning system ("HVAC") which exhausts directly to the outside. In the unlikely event that all persons whose offices share the same HVAC unit agree to allow smoking in their "system," then all of their offices could be designated as smoking-permitted.
4. RESIDENCE HALLS
Student rooms should be considered the same as private/individual offices above, with the difference that smoking could be permitted in a dormitory room if all of the residents served by the same HVAC system have agreed to live in a smoking-permitted environment.
b) Smoking regulations in residence halls will continue to be the responsibility of the Vice-President for Student Affairs and other residential-life officers. Smoking is prohibited in public spaces in the residence halls (hallways, bathrooms, lounges, etc.).
5. SMOKING-PERMITTED LOUNGES AND OTHER PUBLIC ROOMS
Smoking-permitted rooms anywhere on campus should only be so-designated if they have there own externally-exhausted HVAC unit. This would preclude smoking areas in dining rooms, except for enclosed sections with their own externally-exhausted HVAC's.
6. POCKET PARK
The Pocket Park should have an area designated as smoking-permitted.
