Human Resources: Smoke Free Policy
Since July 1, 1994, Fitchburg State College has been a smoke free
institution. Thus any smoking must be done outdoors.
This decision to establish a "smoke free environment" was based
on a recommendation from the college governance group.
Given all that is generally known about the disadvantages of direct
smoking and second hand smoke as it relates to our general health,
and the increasing number of organizations and institutions following
a similar pattern, we believe it is in everyone's best interest
to maintain a "smoke free" campus.
For those members of our college community who have special difficulties
in dealing with the absence of smoking, I urge that you seek assistance
of either Human Resources Department or the Health Services Office.
Thank you for your cooperation.
