approached the ban on tobacco use of any kind with ample notice to employees
and students (3 years) and with few exceptions, the smoke free policy went
into force quietly. Currently, faculty who live in Academy housing can still
smoke. However, that will probably be changing in the next year. Faculty and
staff who do smoke (the minority now) and without campus housing have to
leave campus in order to smoke, even if it is just crossing the street.
The biggest hurdle was convincing guests, alumni, parents that the entire
campus (60 acres in town) was smoke and tobacco free. We seldom have to
remind people of the policy. It causes some interesting problems though at
times. We are doing a major reconstruction of a campus building right now
and some of the construction workers are having some difficulty - but
complying.

Subject: smoke free
Just wondering how other schools are handling making campuses smoke
free? How does that affect teachers/staff who smoke? Is there a
designated area (especially at boarding schools)? Can staff leave
campus for a smoke break? Can they smoke in their cars? Thanks for
your input, Karen
