Refer to Board Policy: 5512 Adopted 8/1/09 Revised 9/10/20

The Board of Education is committed to providing students, staff, and visitors with an indoor
tobacco and smoke-free environment. The negative health effects of tobacco use for both the users
and nonusers, particularly in connection with second-hand smoke, are well established. Further,
providing a non-smoking and tobacco-free environment is consistent with the responsibilities of
teachers and staff to be positive role models for our students.

For purposes of this policy, "use of tobacco" means to chew or maintain any substance containing
tobacco, including smokeless tobacco, in the mouth to derive the effects of tobacco, as well as all
uses of tobacco or tobacco substitutes, including cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco,
snuff, or any other matter or substances that contain tobacco, in addition to papers used to roll
cigarettes and/or the smoking of electronic, "vapor," or other substitute forms of cigarettes, clove
cigarettes or other lighted smoking devices for burning tobacco or any other substance.

The term “tobacco” includes any product that contains tobacco, is derived from tobacco, contains
nicotine, or e-cigarettes and other electronic smoking devices (including but not limited to
"JUULs"), but does not include any cessation product approved by the United States Food and
Drug Administration for use as a medical treatment to reduce or eliminate nicotine or tobacco
dependence.
