A. SMOKING/TOBACCO Adopted 8/1/09 Revised 3/26/12

Refer to Board Policy: 5512

The Board of Education is committed to providing students, staff, and visitors with an indoor tobacco-
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 an indoor tobacco-free
environment is consistent with the role-modeling responsibilities of teachers and staff to 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.

In order to protect students and staff who choose not to use tobacco from an environment noxious to
them, the Board prohibits the possession, consumption, purchase or attempt to purchase and/or use of
tobacco products by students on Board premises, in Board-owned vehicles, within any indoor facility
