Smoking

Carleton College recognizes that using tobacco products is harmful to the health of tobacco users and that exposure to second-hand smoke poses a health risk to non-smokers. The College complies with all applicable state and federal regulations pertaining to smoking.

Smoking and the use of e-cigarettes (which includes vapes, pens, hookah, etc.) is prohibited in all indoor spaces. Designated smoking areas outdoors are available. Those who smoke must be at least 50 feet from building entrances, exits, ground floor windows, and areas around air intake vents.

• Second violation: $500 fine/per person
• Third violation: $1,000 fine/per person
