Tobacco Free Policy

IU Columbus has been a smoke- and tobacco-free campus since 2008. Smoking and tobacco use is prohibited indoors and outdoors and in university vehicles, both on and off campus. The university adopted this policy to promote a healthier and more welcoming environment for employees, students, and guests.

Tobacco use or sale, including, but not limited to smoking, is prohibited on university-owned, -operated, -or leased property.

Exceptions may be granted for specific auxiliary enterprises, as approved by the chancellor.

Tobacco use, including, but not limited to smoking, is not permitted in university-owned, -leased, or -operated vehicles.

Enforcement of this policy will depend upon the cooperation of all faculty, staff, and students not only to comply with this policy, but also to encourage others to comply with the policy, in order to promote a healthy environment in which to work, study, and live.
