Policy
This policy acknowledges the Tobacco Control Act, section 13, under which it makes exemption for the use of tobacco by Aboriginal people for traditional cultural purposes. Nipissing University recognizes Tobacco, Sage, Sweetgrass and Cedar as traditional medicines for ceremonial purposes to promote unity, friendship and support. Aboriginal programming develops respect and knowledge of the sacred medicines which are essential to building an enhanced understanding of Ingigenous peoples of Canada.
Definition
"Smoke" or "smoking" includes the carrying of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other lighted smoking equipment.
Implementation
The Security Services supports the College/University in adopting the No-Smoking Policy that ensures a smoke free environment with an onus to enforce on the students, staff and guests by implementing a College/University-wide education campaign and providing enforcement procedures.
Designated Areas
Enforcement
Violators must produce employee or student identification upon request of a College/University official. Visitors will be asked to comply with No-Smoking Policy or leave the campus.
While it will be the role of Security Services to enforce this policy it is expected that every member of the College & University community will be vigilant in requesting smokers to comply with the policy or request the offender to leave the premises. Staff, faculty, students or administrators should not place themselves in a position of jeopardy or conflict when dealing with a violator.
When violators will not adhere to the Smoking Policy, incidents are to be reported to Security Services (498-7244 or ext. 5505) who will be responsible for issuing violation tickets at their discretion.
In the case of a persistent violator the enforcement process will be according to the respective Collective Agreements, Terms and Conditions of Employment or the Policy on Unacceptable Conduct for students.
As part of the Transition plan, this enforcement will start as an educational campaign and will begin with imposition of penalties after 3-4 weeks of educational efforts.
Penalties
Any student, staff or guest who is found smoking in any area other than a designated smoking area will be issued a smoking infraction violation notice.
Appeals
The College/University’s right to enforce its smoking policy cannot be appealed. If there are extenuating circumstances pertaining to a smoking violation the enforcement process will be according to the respective Collective Agreements, Terms and Conditions of Employment, or Policy on Unacceptable Conduct for students.
